    Wonder Which Bread recipe would....

    Heck I have problems making pudding with AP flour, so I just cheat and use cornstarch. FYI, I left out an important part of the equation my mother taught me: 1.5tsp + 0.5tsp salt per 1 cup of AP flour turns it in to Self-Rising.

    cubing meat for the grinder is not as easy and fast as I had dreamed. I am so tired, I'll have to grind it tomorrow. Question. One of the bags I defrosted was what I guess you'd call the calf or forearm. Little bitty tiny pieces of muscle (1-2" diameter) encased in sinew. Well, that wasn't...

    Don't shun us, just call it a learning curve!! Should have seen us trying to get the meat off a 200lb wild sow he shot while I was with him. It was LOL. No sausage balls yet, wanted to grind last night but we had bad weather and every time a little rain comes in the electricity goes out. This...

    Wonder Which Bread recipe would....

    One more question... I was thinking maybe I should use cake flour, or pastry flour, and not add the vital wheat gluten Mdboatbum taught me turns all purpose to bread flour. Look, I'm learning stuff! p.s.- my mom taught me to use all-purpose flour, and when a recipe calls for self rising, just...

    I wouldn't be surprised if the fam didn't know what they were talking about. They pay to have their meat processed, they were absolutely no help when I had questions about how to prepare my meats. ;p. And they showed my hubs how to butcher a deer, a quick and easy way where you don't have to...

    My first shot at sausage.

    Welp, I'm still alive, not sick or anything, so I guess I cooked the deer right, AND I was looking forward to eating the deer when I got hungry today. My husband skinned and quartered the deer asap after he shot it, so it shouldn't be tainted. All his kills this year were Does, so no testies...

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared of not marinating the venison with a heavy flavor. I'm scared I wont like the venison, gotta take it slow, acquired tastes and all. But, I think the next one will be 2-4" thick steaks, not butterflied, wrapped with one slice of bacon, garlic pepper, sear...

    Backwoods BBQ, not sure if I misunderstood you but... I never said buttermilk doesn't take the gamey flavor out. It fact, I believe you're right, I was really surprised how much I liked the fried meat, besides being a bit chewy. I'm keeping buttermilk in my fridge from now on till forever, glad...
