I was planning on stuffing them, but I ran into a deal on porterhouses. So I'm gonna cook them in a little Prager port that I picked up at the Prager winery last week on a vacation in the Napa Valley. If you're ever in the Napa valley, you must go to Prager, it's a small family owned winery that specializes in port wine, the stuff is fricken amazing.

More to come this evening, I'm gonna cook everything outside on the kettle, over oak wood and charcoal.

It's too hot here, to cook inside tonight. I can't wait until this summer weather is over. Which means ducks and geese are gonna die soon.

Shrooms with butter, roasted garlic, thyme, S&P, deglazed with Port wine.
Duck fat roasted red potatoes, with red peppers, onion, parsley, and pecorino Romano cheese.

And Porter house steaks, as big as a dinner plate.

Swiss Chard grilled over the coals, with lemon juice, olive oil, and S&P.

Everything was cooked over oak wood coals from splits .

The pictures are scrambled, sorry.

That looks like a fine meal 👍. Our season starts soon here for duck & goose, will be hitting em hard this year.
Thank you, send some of those fat greenheads down this way please.
Our season starts the 3rd week of Oct. it's been pi$$ poor the past two years down here. I barely killed enough to render a pint of fat. I only render the fat from the birds that have at least 1/4'' of pure white fat on their breast, or it can get a little funky tasting. I hope we actually get a migration from up north this yr. Our locals birds just haven't been doing much the past few yrs. The Snows and Specks have been decent up in the rice country, I just don't have the coin these days for a lease. I hunt the Ca Delta, it's public, but nobody has hunted "our" pond except us in many yrs. It's a bitch to get into even at high tide, you need a mud boat, the area is so silted in. I have a 1754 Prodrive boat with a stage 3 36hp Prodrive motor, it gets three of us with gear and two dogs into the marsh unless there is a massive minus tide. Bird hunting is me thing, big time, I started when I was 6yrs old, I'm 60yrs old now, and have never missed a season, and won't if I have any say in it.


Good luck this yr, post some pics if you do any good.
Dan.

WOW.....thanks for the ride, it's been a while.

PS. that Catcup didn't go anywhere near the meat. LOL

I'm a heathen, I like catchup, and garlic TX Pete on my potatoes, peppers and onions.

Both the potatoes, and shrooms each had a full bulb of roasted garlic on them as well, not sure I typed that above or not.

The steaks were pretty thin, like just over an inch, so they got away from me a little, they were still great, just over done by two minutes or so per side.
