Twenty five below zero this AM and the temperature is to rise today to some twenties above. A 50 degree rise. Wow.
In the meantime try a hot Hunan( I think) style stir fry w/ venison. Onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts and venison sliced thin ( 1 / 8 inch ) w/ plenty of garlic, crushed red pepper, and a couple tablespoons of black bean sauce( I used Kikkoman), all tossed w/ Ramen Noodles.
Do the onions in veg oil first till soft, add mushrooms and water chestnuts, then meat, then a quarter cup of water and bean sauce, garlic and red pepper. Toss w/ prepared noodles. It is rich and spicy and a great counterpoint to the frigid air outside. It heats you up from the inside out.
Well, he ( Childress) got her into the bar, but couldn't get her back into the dining room in the 2nd half( re: metaphor from previous post). He should have let Jackson run.
About Me
- Captain Cook
- A chef by trade, I had a restaurant and bar in the jeweled lake country of Mn for 20 years. A terrifying, yet rewarding endeavor. I remain interested and passionate about food and consider eating to be the ultimate existential experience; we must eat to live, and since we must eat, let us eat well. As the Captain, I explore the world of food at my doorstep, at your doorstep, and beyond the doorsteps of the many cafe's and restaurants of this exquisite Mn lake country. It is a picnic. I remain the Captain because I have no choice. Food has chosen me. I'll tell you about it. I also write a guest column for a local newspaper,the Mille Lacs Messenger, do a food piece for their quarterly magazine, the Compass,and write about outdoor food for Mn Outdoor News and Lake Country Journal magazine. I also teach occasional cooking classes. All food is outdoor food, or should be.
