Red Arrow, I hope all goes well with your daughter.  I hope it works outs where you can make it.

Thank you. I do too. Her mother scheduled the appointment so I'm not even sure which doctor she's going to see.

Bill, that is awesome.  I've been playing around with braising meat in my Fry Daddy.  I brown it off in the deep fryer, then cook it off in the oven.  It's been very tender and yummy.  So, that's my plan for the Country Fried Venison steaks.  If you man the fryers. I can get the rest of breakfast prepped and started.  With luck everything should come out around the same time and maximum total time from start to finish of less than hour.

I might have to buy beef steaks instead of deer steak.  Hope that is OK.  I'm not much of a cook but I can try to help out with breakfast.

[hedgeapple]

Clint, I've never attempted southern fried venison steaks, but I think it sound great.  Beef steaks would be fine, also.  Whichever you want to will be great. Breakfast is an easy meal to cook, it's just a little time consuming on the prep end.  I'd love your help.  Thanks.  I'd like to start cooking by 8:30.  I know that will not be an issue with you and Bill.  It'll be a push for me. haha  So, I won't be watching the sunrise from the windows of the workshop.

Dave, I don't think any meal is complete without desert. How's about I bring either two blackberry cobblers or one blackberry and one peach. I won't make it till Saturday and if ok I'll have a young man with me that was in 4/H with my daughter and now attends Eastern. I told him I would gift him a stave and he will be looking for guidance. Joe

[osage outlaw]

Is anyone else getting excited about Moontree?  It's getting close.  I'm ready to see more of Chief Blue Feathers trick shots.

Dave, can't wait. I just read back through the posts and it looks like Bill has dessert unless you think we need more. Looks to me like you still need crab meat and onions. I can handle that if it's for Sat. As that is the only day I can make it. Clint I have a couple of projects I'm bringing. One holey stave I've had for a while, might get you to look at it for me, and a few others. Bill I finally got a hunting weight bow nearly finished just need a few eyes on it to bring it down a few pounds and draw out a few more inches. Paul hope you can make it Sat. Looking forward to it. Joe

[hedgeapple]

Joe, if it's ok with Bill, he could do cobbler Friday and you could do cobbler Saturday.  The crabmeat and onions are for Saturday's Boil.  Thanks for bringing them. I'll make the adjustments on that post.  And, your young friend is welcome.

Clint, thanks for the pictures.  Brian's form looks perfect. haha  Don't worry about buying steaks,  I can provide venison steaks.

[osage outlaw]

Dave, I can bring a pack of steaks.
