I made chili today from a venison neck, am marinating cabrito ribs and hams, have rub on the chicken carcasses, last of the fresh jalapenos from the garden are on the smoker to make chipotle, and finally took a break for a beer and FR.

The party for my neighbor's 81st birthday is tomorrow. Life is good when you can kill or pick your own food. (except squirrels. I am very tired of squirrel)

Being a chef, and having good, fresh product to work with... Priceless.

I think that is most important.....quality of life. Some of the best meals I have had were either at 11,000 feet with a toss together menu of wild game and food brought or ad hoc recipes served up on a Iranian Dhow anchored 20 miles out in the Persian Gulf. All in the preparation of the materials at hand by the cook and the hunger of the diners. Cobra & Goat fajitas wrapped in steamed kale leaves with lemon juice and sea salt, fake skate scallops made with a piece of pipe cookie cutter, with corona and spiced butter and old bay spice.

Good eating .........enjoy that birthday party and stay safe !
