First year in a while we didn’t do a Wellington. Love those damn things!
We made some “death bed tacos” again with some moose along with a few cocktails. Those are like crack if you haven’t tried the recipe from Hanks new book. So simple but so good.
We’ve mostly mixed our own blends. I’ve made a google sheet that I can simply tweak the input for pounds of meat going in to adjust the spices and fat. I’ve adjusted the recipes to our family’s liking over the years. That said, my wife wanted something more like “Jimmy Dean” for breakfast...
Made about 60 pounds of loose sausage total two weekends ago. Got the help from our kids and one friend’s kid who is excited about getting more into hunting. Was a fun time for the kiddos to be a part of it all. Gave some out for Christmas gifts to friends and family.
Made about 30 pounds of...
Per usual - posole with red chile today with the extended family midday. We then made my daughter’s favorite for tonight - slow cooker carnitas for tacos. Tomorrow it’s French toast in the morning with the kiddos and then grazing all day before some big ribeyes for dinner. 70 in Denver...
It’s definitely a fun thing to mess with. Now that we have the go to recipe, it’s cool to experiment with different types. This summer I tried a fermented one with green habaneros, jalapeños and tons of lime. The added fermented element is awesome - especially with eggs in the morning.
We finally made those too. Absolute insanity. So good. We made it with some flank I took from the moose this year. These are a new go to for tacos going forward. @Hunting Wife wasn’t lying - do not skip the onions. We also used some of the hot sauce we just made.
We also did the Chile...
I’ve been doing them for a few years now. Started with a simple bag of sand from Home Depot that I duct taped around like crazy. Simple and cheap. I would strap that into the meat hauler portion of my pack. Started with a kuiu pack but switched to an Exo about 2.5 years ago. Now I only use...
And holy hell - paired the fresh sauce with Hank Shaws “Deathbed Tacos” from his recent book tonight with some flank I kept from this years moose. You seriously can’t go wrong with that recipe.
Over the years, I have really loved making homemade hot sauces. We now grow a variety of peppers in our garden each year to provide enough to make our annual batches that my wife and I now give out as part of our Christmas gifts. Often times, when fortunate, along with some of the wild game...
Definitely agree with the replica horns. I have my euro with a simple skull hook here in Denver and used the replica horns on the shoulder mount at the cabin. I loved it so much I am doing that for my oryx from last year (which I hope to be getting back anytime now).
