Venison & bacon pie, fried mashed potatoes, carrots
and an orange cake. We are truly blessed to have not only
this food but our health. We have many
years to look forward to with you.
Merry Christmas to all!

CARROTS!?!?!?

Brown sugar, Jack Daniel’s.

Yum.

“Fried mashed potatoes”

In other words, Pringles.

[SamAdams76]

Venison, when properly prepared, is one of the best meats you can eat.

“Hey Grandpa! What’s for supper?”

[GaryCrow]

That looks great, I’d be all over it!

Potato pancakes. We made those often with leftover mashed potatoes. Well, my mom did...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Carrots.

Root vegetables were very popular during the winter months.

Beets, swedes, turnips, radish (early winter) leeks, onions and of course potatoes.

[G Larry]

I could use a decent recipe for Potato Pancakes!

[madison10]

They were not as good as real ones. We add an egg, onions, and herbs to mashed potatoes. Then fry.

[Nifster]

Indeed

[Nifster]

Yup

[Nifster]

Americas test kitchen has a great one

[gnarledmaw]

Winter storage radishes like Black Spanish will keep right through to spring provided they are stored correctly.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I will look that one up.

Thanks!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks V K Lee.

[CaptainPhilFan]
