New England Boiled Dinner
2 1/2 - 3 lb. picnic ham 3-4 garlic cloves 4-5 bay leaves Approx. 12 peppercorns 4-5 sm. onions (halved) Potatoes Cabbage Carrots Kielbasa (ring)
Place ham in large Dutch oven. Cover with hot tap water. Add spices, simmer 1 1/2 hours. Drain some water to add remaining ingredients. Simmer another 1 hour.
How about some Apple Crisp?
* 3 pounds tart apples * 2 tablespoons lemon juice * 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 1/3 cup all-purpose flour * 1/3 cup granulated sugar * 1/3 cup rolled oats * 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick) * 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preparation: Peel, core and chop the apples; toss in a bowl with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; add to the apples and toss to combine.
In another bowl combine flour, sugar and oats. Cut butter into 8 small pieces, and cut butter into flour with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.
Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread apple mixture in bottom of baking dish then sprinkle with flour mixture. Bake at 375° for 30 to 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or a little heavy cream, if desired.

Yes, we finally got some decent runoff rains. We had over two inches at the house, but some areas up the Colorado River had over eight.

good luck! our chili cook off is in 3 weeks.
I need venison. Well, Darn! I could bring ya some, except it would be about a week and a half too late. I did mine with a twist - a pound of ground elk burger and a pound of ground elk Italian sausage. It came out pretty tasty.

Good afternoon Canteeners! Hope your day is lovely....
Butternut Squash with Pecans and Blue Cheese
Ingredients:
4-pounds 8-ounces butternut squash
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 stalks fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup pecans
1 cup crumbled Roquefort or other blue cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Halve the squash, leaving the skin on, and scoop out the seeds, then cut into 1-inch cubes; you don't need to be precise just keep the pieces uniformly small.
Put into a roasting tin with the oil and strip about 4 stalks thyme of their leaves, sprinkling over the butternut squash. If you can't get any fresh thyme, sprinkle over dried.
Roast in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until tender.
Once out of the oven, remove the squash to a bowl and scatter over the pecans and crumble over the cheese tossing everything together gently. Check the seasoning and add the last couple of stalks of thyme torn into small sprigs to decorate.
