Mine still won't. Mental block.

More for you.

Dude so real. I think the tri tip recipe smoking to 130 and then reverse seared for a year or two- and then do the elk or deer backstrap same way, brought familiarity and helped a ton

When we first met I cooked up antelope backstrap she ate the whole thing. On the last bite I told her what it was she spit it out and was mortified. I give up. She also thinks well water is not as good as bottled water. Like some holy man is blessing this shit at a waterfall in Indonesia before he puts it on the ice mountain truck.

I planned on having a fish fry. Dammit!

That’s always been my wife’s excuse for herself as a kid….

$8.88/lb prime rib for Christmas and now $7 lobster tails for NYE. I feel like a king.

And people keep complaining about inflation. Lobster tails were $5 at Aldi 15 years ago so that seems pretty solid buy at the local store for rural Townsend Montana.

Ha, I don’t disagree- I’m more of a medium guy is usually, but it was damn good!

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.

Wife and I tend to do finger foods for New Year’s Eve. This year we kept it simple. Just some summer sausage, cheese, crackers and veggies.

Dave, I was going to put it into the “what’s on the smoker tonight?” Thread. You started the thread, so this is going to be the one I will post to.

Tonight is a monumental night. My wife hated eating ANY game meat and overall refused to enjoy it—Until Xmas weekend.
Aside from the typical main courses, I smoked a hunk of elk backstrap and then reverse seared like many nights before…
She ate a bite and said she could eat the whole damned thing! I couldn’t believe it! We’ve been together 13 years?! So tonight, for the very first time, elk is the main course!! Going for reverse sear soon! View attachment 397635
