armadillo roadkill
*********
As kids growing up we used to go out at night and hunt the dillos.
Never to my knowledge ate one.
freeper peanut gallery made peach cobbler in hers
Amen!
Once you start baking your bread in a dutch oven you might not go back. It’s the only way I make bread now.
I have a Le Creuset I bought 21 years ago and gets used 4-5x/week easily. Just about at the end of it’s lifespan though. I’d say that a fair bang for the buck.
last year i shot around 30 on my property...
there was some logging done to my south and the damn things headed my way...
and i was joking about the roadkill... 😁...
Depends on the threadcount of the sheets.
I bought ours in about 1990. It is white.
I’ve heard that they carry leprosy. Before I knew that, I ate some BBQ armadillo, tasted ok, didn’t like the reddish color. Yes, it was done.
Recently got one of these after much research. It is beautifully finished on all edges...lighter than cast iron yet performs as well or better. And I can put it in my dishwasher
Buy one from wherever you can. It is a thing of beauty!
About 6 years ago, we got a cast iron Dutch oven at Salvation Army for $5. It was covered in rust, inside and out, and looked like garbage.
We took it home and scrubbed it clean the rubbed it with oil and seasoned it.
It cooks great and is used often!........In fact we had two Cornish Game Hens in it yesterday!............
“Can it core a apple?”
I have a Lodge that will never wear out but I think I might want to consider this for my mom. She can not lift cast iron any more.
Note: The pioneers on the wagon trains west
had really large cast iron dutch ovens that could
make enough for hundreds of people.
Bread, roasts, everything.
When we would go deer hunting sometimes I would dig a hole
build a fire in it, then wrap the dutch oven in foil
cover it with coals and then rebury it. Come in from
hunting in the evening, dig it up and what a dinner!
Cobbler, dump cake, buscuits, pot roast, you name it.
Had three different sizes. Just have to season them
from time to time, and no soap, just scrub them out
with hot water.
Possum on the half shell!
I got one for my mom. They are still heavy but not nearly as heavy as the cast iron.
I have the 5.5 but the smaller ones look like they could work well for elderly
One of the important things is to have the lid make a tight
seal, so I used to take mine and put some valve grinding
compound on the lip and turn it for an hour or so.
Clean it off and it
Keeps the steam in.
marinating...
nice :)
