It is one of the foundation spice blends of Central American cooking.

Have you ever seen birds get drunk from eating fallen, fermented fruit? Their metabolisms run hot, and they seem to have a high tolerance for alcohol; but sometimes it catches up with them:

I had a little rescued bird once, who loved her tiny sip of wine now and then ;-)

Gosh, that’s the last thing we need here.

Even though we’re in a densely populated suburban area, we drive to work through a long stretch of wooded area; and this time of year, we have to look out for the deer.

One morning last year, a doe ran across the road and was almost hit by the car in front of us. We saw the buck that was chasing her stop short, and refuse to cross the road after her.

Good thing that besides hormones, he hadn’t been into the fallen fruit :-)

Safer to eat them braised with burgundy, carrots, taters, shallots and peas

We used to cut silage and every year we would have deer, squirrels, rabbits and every type of wildlife imaginable gathering around the silo to drink the fermented likker.
It was funny as the dickens watching them stagger around.

We had an old man who made some of the best hard cider.
He would come to our place and gather apples from our trees and pay us in cider.
It was sipping cider.
Crisp, tasty and STRONG.
Never did get his recipe.

I liked venison, when I was young and we got some every year from a cousin who was an avid hunter.

I just seem to have lost the taste for it, as I’ve grown old.

My husband, on the other hand, really loves it, and misses the meat we used to get from his Dad’s hunting.

Well, I guess humans aren't the only ones who like a little 'consciousness raising' now and then ;-)

I'm at the age where I'm making a 'bucket list'; and I think learning to make hard cider is going to be on it!

We got a bunch of elk a few days ago. I made two whiskey glazed baconated meatloaves. All gone. I’m going to search for some recipes for something new to make.

In a wild fit of self indulgence, I bought packages of tortas de aceite, (Spanish olive oil crackers) which arrived yesterday and are now half gone. We are in love. They are a perfect combination of sweet/salty, crisp/flaky 5” round. I bought sesame seed and sea salt, but they also make a cinnamon, a rosemary and thyme and an orange. After wiping up the crumbs, I checked to see if recipes are available. They are, but include fennel seed or anise liqueur, neither of which are listed in the ingredients on the package. Has anyone ever made these?
