if at the faculty christmas party, several dishes are things the faculty shot and field dressed themselves.

but damn that wild boar was delicious and I don't even like pork.

I made 6 pounds of maple bourbon sweet potatoes. There's nothing left.

I'm very sleepy now after eating carbs to celebrate my fight with my endocrinologist. More on that later.

now to work on the gradebook

I love your icon!

When my dad was in college, he and his buddies through a party. One woman came out of the restroom and her friend asked why she had been in there so long. She exclaimed, "There's no toilet paper! I had to DRIP DRY!"

"fight with my endocrinologist"

Ruh roh, Rhaggy.

My cousin and uncle hunt a lot. I don't even know if they remember what beef tastes like. They must have shot 8 or 9 deer a piece this year (bow hunting, muzzle loading season, etc. - there are a billion different "seasons" when hunting). Plus, my uncle raises his own chickens (I hate chickens). They also hunt rabbit and squirrel as well as fish. Hell, the cousin even does taxidermy work and gets free meat that way.

Oooo...rabbit is one of my all time favorite meats. Mmmmm, rabbit.

I wish we had a faculty christmas party.

Oh, wait...that'd mean I'd have to spend more time with Atty.

Forget I said that.

I can post this over here (my friend has pet bunnies)... I like rabbit, too. Rabbit burgers are my fave.

My aunt Donna won't eat supper over at my uncle's house as she's afraid of eating a deer. She won't eat wild game. *Rolls eyes* Better than shooting the critter "for sport", I say.

We used to raise chickens. I hate chickens. The only way I like chickens now are plucked and roasted... side of mashed potatoes, stuffing, maybe some green beans.

i have no qualms about eating game

Me either. To me, it's wasted if you shoot something and don't eat it. I must have SOME American Indian blood in me somewhere because wasted meat is just appalling. That's what is so cool about my cousin. His "city buddies" go hunting with Dell and when they kill something, they don't know what to do with it. Since he's there, he does everything. They take it back to his house where he butchers the meat and then taxidermies the head, hide or horns (when applicable). The buddy gets the trophy and he gets the food.

*Hee* Glad you like it :) It was made by the brilliant Kylie Xerri. (The quote itself originated due to teasing queries from my husband and the post-marriage complaints of a male friend. I was trying to explain/justify why women are compelled to buy toilet paper in bulk.)

I agree. Those were much fun. Halloween was better than Christmas but still.

My brother's a butcher; he usually gets at least half of whatever game comes into the shop to be cleaned. He makes the best venison sausage.

We had bunnies when I was a kid...which sidelined into a rabbit for meat business. There were the bunnies for pets - our four or eight or however many there were for breeders - and the rabbits we sold for meat.

My mom was going through my flist and saw your maple bourbon sweet potatos comment. She was wondering if she could have the recipe? She's squeeing herself right now just from the way it sounds.
