Winters still hanging on here so I have a pot of Ham and Great Northern's on with a loaf of fresh Sour Dough standing by. I made the beans with homemade vegetable stock and they smell wonderful. Taste pretty good too. Sounds great to me. That was a staple in our house growing up. Funny. I think about a pot of Navy beans and ham more now than I ever did in the previous 40 years.

Had a plain ole simple BLT on rustic bread and it was fabulous!!!! Dan your plating is very appetizing!! In fact, I don't believe I have ever seen a bad plating from anyone. Even DIY Guy's bologna sammich made the cut!! God is GOOD!! Oh and Mike...you can call your pot whatever you want. Chili is fine by me!! Looked great! I keep hoping I'm gonna find some REALLY good tomatoes because I've been hankering for a good BLT!

I'm with ya FG.
Was a bit sunny and dry the last 36hours so I tried mowing the lawn when I got home.
It started raining immediately. Lol. Mower was choking out. It's out of control over here. Fit to drown a toad.
Anyway, Progresso Lentil soup outta da can. It's killer.
Made a pan of corn bread. Little coarse ground, little more fine ground, some AP flour, eggs, butter, milk, honey, baking soda and a Serrano chili diced up super fine.
Yea....I think your weather eventually becomes our weather. I compare our "spring" to living in a petri dish....everything's green but most of it's mold and moss. That Lentil soup sounds good, I'll have to try some since I too ain't above eating out of a can. Progresso lentil soup is good, FG. You can get with or without ham.

Yum Greg !
Last night was grilled Lamb loin chops with herb crumb topping, butter & parsley baby taters, steamed cauliflower & roasted pumpkin.
Finished off with a lemon square. Menu fit for a king.

Greg try those "ugly tomatoes." They appear to be the closest thing to a year round garden fresh tomato that I can find.

My brother in law and I came up with this awhile back. Our redneck version of the Surf-N-Turf roll: Cucumber, cold-smoked Alaskan salmon, cream cheese and avocado sushi roll topped with elk "sashimi." Served with soy/wasabi of course. For the elk we sliced it thin from a round roast, and mixed it in a bowl with sesame seed oil, a little teriyaki, salt and pepper and let it sit for an hour or so. It was awesome.

Huntin- tell me more about how you prepare the elk round? Is it raw and simply "brined" in the sesame/teriyaki mix?
That looks out standing! I love good carpaccio. The salmon and cuke sound perfect with it.

That looks out standing! I love good carpaccio. The salmon and cuke sound perfect with it. Yessir, it is raw. I slice it thin first and then I just kinda add the sesame oil to taste. Just a splash of teriyaki, little salt and pepper. Mix it all together well and let it set awhile. Then enjoy. We had made the elk as an appetizer first and it was excellent...and we thought it would be perfect on a sushi roll. We were right. Another way I like to do raw elk (not on sushi) is to slice the meat thin and then add some olive oil, fresh garlic, sea salt, cracked pepper and lemon or lime juice. Let it sit an hour or several. With the lime juice the meat turns grey-ish and the consistency changes a bit (kinda like when you make ceviche). Both of these recipes are great as well if you sear the meat quickly on each side but personally I prefer it raw. I'll have to check out a carpaccio recipe.

My kids and I did a redux tonight. I'm not the sushi artist my bro-in-law is, but it was excellent. Had ponzu sauce tonight which improved it further. Madmooner, this time I sliced the elk thin and just added sesame seed oil, ponzu sauce and Coconut Secret Teriyaki Sauce. That would be awesome as an appetizer.

Alright, check this out. Been tinkering with this. These pics are of the second attempt which was good but I got the meat a little too done. Less time in the oven next attempt. Still quite good though. Deer backstrap (first time I used eye of round roast and it worked great, no need to use a backstrap): Filleted open: Salt and pepper, sear both sides in bacon fat. Remove and immediately brush with English mustard (or horseradish). Then stuff with smoked Alskan salmon, horseradish cheddar cheese (or pepper jack is also good) and Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme sprinkled throughout: Tie that sucker up and bake it in bacon fat and thyme syrup for 15-20 minutes to desired wellness (medium rare recommended, this came out med well ) Remove from pan, remove string and slice into medallions. Thyme syrup drizzled on top is also good: Recipe for thyme syrup, stolen from a cocktail recipe: Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Throw in a handful of thyme sprigs and let steep 10-15 minutes. Stir in 1/2 sugar until dissolved.
