Cold and Hot

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.
