Tree Farmers

Last weekend brought the annual winter conference for the Southeastern Wisconsin Woodland Owners.


No button-down collars, ties, suits or tasseled loafers for this crowd.

Carhartts and work boots were the uniform of the day.


Tree farmers rock!

Adultress

Looking thru last month's Door County Advocate I stumbled across this tidbit from the Advocate's 'Traveling Back' column.

From 100 years ago - the January 21st, 1915 issue of the Advocate...



Where's the other party to the crime?  Running lustfully at-large?  

Scandalous!


 

Schnitzel Mein Lieber

This is some pretty good stuff.

Sliced turkey breast - beaten flat.  Soak in an egg wash for about 15 minutes and dredge in plain breadcrumbs.  Place on a platter in the fridge for about an hour.

Prep spaetzle and pan-fried garlic green beans (from the garden).  Pan fry your breaded turkey schnitzel with olive oil and clarified butter.  Set aside in a 200 degree oven to hold.  Finish your green beans and fry a couple of eggs sunny-side up.  Serve with capers over all.

Schnitzel à la Holstein, gebratener Knoblauch grünen Bohnen und spaetzel.  Yum!


Meine Frau fragte mich, dies zu machen!

Revenge of the Stuffed Pork Loin

In the past five weeks I have dined on stuffed pork loin thrice.  Yup.  Three times.  I'm not suggesting that you can get too much of a good thing but you don't want to grow tired or become bored with too much of a good thing.

Good thing each recipe has been different.

This past weekend the First Mate and his Frau invited us over for dinner in their new digs.  Not a new house per-se but new to them.

Dinner was you know who.  And it was good.

Here it is ready for browning before going in the oven.

And finished dish.
 
Yum!

Drop me an email if you'd like the recipe and I'll shoot you the PDF file.

Daylight Sightings

Hunting is long past and the bait piles have long been removed from the landscape.

Deer are now moving during daylight hours as they roam from bedding grounds to foraging grounds.  Gotta get a square meal the honest way.

Mama and the twins...



Quiz.  Where is the second deer in this picture?
