Great stuff......
Thanks for the votes of confidence, guys.
Might also mention that Eileen shipped her latest cookbook to the printer today, so we should have copies within 6-8 weeks. The title is TENDERIZE THE WILD: Marinades, Brines and Rubs for Wild Game. I have been serving as a taste-tester for over a year now, and it might be her best one yet....
