Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Good friend of mine has a wife who's an excellent cook. She brought me some lentil soup once that had venison sausage in it. Best soup I've ever had. Her husband and their family goes hunting couple times a year up in Georgia and the venison came from a recent hunting trip.

If I could ever have another bowl of that soup, I would die a happy man.

 

Lol, no—Hickory Hollow is my processor I use for my smoked sausage.
They do an 80/20 mix venison/pork and use natural casings.

 

Tonight Ms. Jan wants BBQ grilled chicken halves, and like @GatorLurker, we’ll be working on cleaning out leftovers with a do-over on the green beans and new potatoes—steamed yellow squash and vidalia onions to go with—

It was a hot day cleaning up and refilling Ms. Jan’s bird feeders and bird baths—you guessed it, the ice cold longnecks have answered the bell once the outside work was done and now we’re waiting on the MLB All Star game to get started.

 

Last night I had some generic frozen green beans (uncut) from Winn Dixie (SE Grocer) in one of those steamer bags that you microwave. Put some real butter and Jane's Crazy salt on them and they were unreal delicious.

Tonight it's take out......

 

Lol—

You didn’t hear this here, but, if you take a Platex baby bottle nipple and “x” the end of it with your knife, then slide it over the barrel of your .22—when you pull the trigger all you’ll hear a “plitzzz”....

 

Good for you, Lurk.

Shame on you, 74.....

 

Well Bazza, when you’re raised in the country.....

 

I have two Havaheart traps and have used them extensively over the years. When I lived in Lehigh Acres, I had a chain link fenced in backyard and my house backed up to the woods. I had an enclosed lanai with a cat door for my cat and had his food and water dish in the lanai. He'd come inside at night and I'd let him out when I went to work. Dang coons would come into the lanai at night and raid his food and water. I'd set a trap at night and on my way to work to Ft. Myers the next morning put the trap & coon in the back of my truck and release him somewhere near a canal and woods and away from other homes and any roadways. I felt at least I was being humane about it. My cat was the greatest cat in the world and I felt I had to be his protector.

Now in NSB, I'm a block from the ICW and of course we have coons all over the place and I have new cats to watch over only this time their food and water dishes are in the garage. Same deal, except I take them down south towards Canaveral National Seashore Park and release them along the marsh areas.

 

I understand—there’s always a pellet gun—(they’ll get tired of getting stung—)

 

Sorry 74 - I didn't mean that as an attack. Things are different in the country - I get that. Thanks for clarifying.

 

How about Coyotes?

We have some here.
