My Sous Chef....okay, more like my taster...

Pabs is my stubborn old boyfriend. He was a little hesitant about this adventure. Mostly he is hesitant because whatever I cook, he has to consume. To be fair, I have told him that he can have 5 recipes that he does not have to eat. Okay, it wasn't to be fair. I wanted him to try all of them...I have to! But it was this or nothing. I went with the 5. I am guessing most of his 5 will come from the Colorado Wild section.

The intro to Colorado Wild states that the recipes within this section were created by Dr. Randall H. Lortscher. Dr. R is an avid sportsman that grew up in a family where the rule was "if you shoot it, you clean it, and you cook it". Some of the recipes are for animals I have never thought of eating: Marinated Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (pg. 252) and what the fuck is a grouse or a chukar??? I have no idea, but will probably be eating these without my sous chef Pabs...

Hey successful, bored, now-that-you've-gotten-your-masters, wondrous one (and infamous all-time greatest Academic Counselor)!!!! A chukar is very much like a quail...a small (cornish hen sized bird)...you know, the one bite and you're done kind!! Good luck on your venture!!

You are quite an adventurer! Poor Pabs...hahaha. Feel free to invite me over...but please not when you have that rocky mountain sheep dog or whatever you just said...haha!

Absolutely! The "wild" side has always been my favorite...just as long as it's not "gamey"...if you know what I mean. Trick of the trade from one of my cohorts back in Wiscsonsin who in in the meat produce business...actually has some authentic recipes of his own...as far as "wild" game...keep the "game" out of the taste, do NOT ever cut through the bone!!

Where's YOUR pic???

Ohh hey, and just so you know, you're right...there are 599 recipes. I added 'em up just to make sure! :-)

That can't possibly surprise you!? By the way, which one(s) are you starting with first?
