Hunters and Gatherers

Nick killed his very first deer ever this year.  After spending days in the woods morning and night, the buck he had been hoping for wandered right into the front yard!  Just a little 4 point but he sure has been tasty.  Nick processed him all by himself and we now have a freezer stocked with venison steaks, roasts and ground.  Friends of ours have been too busy (with a 6 month old) to get one yet this season so we had them up to share in the bounty.  Nick made "venison rolls" from the back straps with apple and garlic inside.  DELICIOUS!  I made a veggie/rice dish with the remains from our garden and a wonderful time was had by all.

Their daughter is just at the age where she can transition to baby food and she was so intent on the venison that we broke out a little of G's old baby food for her (and our after dinner entertainment).  She was ALL about it!
