Sausage patties made from a hog that a member of our gun club raised, fried potatos from another gun club member grown right here in Idaho, eggs sunny up from another gun club member ( organically fed chickens), salsa made from peppers from my garden, pickled jalapeno garnish from my garden. I am president of a Gun Club here and we have a "meat shop" at our club that we use to butcher locally grown steers, hogs, chickens, Elk, Deer, Antelope all harvested right here in Idaho by members of the club. These meats are cut and sealed in bags to be given out as prizes at our shoots. We are known as " The Melba Gun Club" where "the best meat shoots in Idaho" are held. We have a shoot this Sunday and our prizes will be New York Strips, Bacon, Pork roasts, Ribs, Pork Chops, Chicken, Turkeys, Hams & wild game sausage. The photo is my breakfast today made with all organically grown and raised products
Outstanding! I love wild hog meat and try to keep some on hand. I am going hog hunting again in 4 weeks to replenish the supply. The freezer is filling up with whitetail venison too. Now I am really hungry!!
I'd say, "Yessir, I'll take plate of that!," while my wife and registered nutritionist would both be inclined to disagree with my choice.
Wow... considering that you know the source of every bit of that food, it's amazing and looks so good!
The wife and I just ate breakfast at a new place for us this morning. Kosta's Family Restaurant, since 1981. Three eggs, home fries, three bacon, biscuits and gravy, and coffee. MMMMMMMM good.
Yay for gun sport and fellowship, hunting, organic meat and produce and home cooking! I live with celiac sprue. The contents of that plate make me smile. Carry on!
Since we are a GF household, ( my youngest son diagnosed with celiac 6 years ago), one of the changes we made was to start making our own meat products (sausages, bacons, lunch meats, snack sticks) to avoid any potential nasty grain fillers often used in the industry. Plus my wife has grown quite adept using the many alternative flours.
That's awesome. It's such a blessing to know his condition before it has time to inflict major damage. I thank God for my celiac, as it forced me to learn to be healthy. I am blessed to live in an area with many local producers of lamb, bison, beef, chickens, ducks (eggs too!), hogs...and even the occasional ostrich. I believe healthy, clean food like on this thread is the cure and or an adjunct therapy for many of our ills. and Yay! for real cooking too.
Todays breakfast - Anameims stuffed with Sausage, cheese, scrambled eggs, onions. Mexican potatos. Smothered in salsa and cilantro. Everything from our garden or chickens except the cheese
My wife lived her whole life with IBS & breathing problems that weren't correctly diagnosed until she was around 55 years old. She finally had a doctor with enough snap to order allergy testing. The results forced a life change, but she is no longer in daily pain. Look at this list of what she's allergic to & imagine how hard it is to find ANYTHING to eat at a restaurant. It's hard to plan meals too, but I'm getting better at cooking for her. Allergies: Caraway Apricot Asparagus Black Currant Bok Choy Brewer’s Yeast Cashews Clams Coriander Corn Flounder Leek Mussels Pears Pine Nuts Pinto Beans Plums Squid Wheat Wild Rice Amaranth (a grain) Basil Beef Bell Peppers Blueberry Brazil Nuts Cantaloupe Cardamom Catfish Cauliflower Celery Chicken Liver Chicken Chili Pepper Coconut Codfish Coffee Cottonseed Duck Egg Yolk Endive Fennel Seed Grapes Hazelnuts Lime Mackerel Mung Bean Okra Olive Paprika Parsnip Pineapple Radish Romaine Lettuce Scallops Sesame Shrimp String Bean Swiss Chard Swordfish Tomato Walnuts Watermelon Chemicals & Molds: Red #1 Crystal Ponceau Clado Herbarum Penicillin Voltaren Erythritol Polysorbate 80 Sodium Sulfite Sorbic Acid Cephalosporium Phoma Destructiva Benzene Orris Root Cephaloporin C Indocin Streptomycin Tetracycline Medicinal Herbs: Agave Valerian Elderberry Ginkgo Bilboba Hawthorn Berry Lo Han Lutein Noni Berry Pau darco Bark Reishi Mushrooms Rhodiola Schisandra Berry
Good grief, Kevin, that's one list not to be jealous of! I'm glad you found out eventually what's ailing her. Best wishes heading you and her way!
