My squash plants have dried up for the most part but I have one or two plants that produce a squash every few days. Yesterday I fried squash, green tomatoes and okra from the garden.
I tried an experiment with some poke salat that I froze that came out really well. I cooked the poke down with butter, onions, garlic, chicken stock and dried chanterells. It was pretty amazing, my new favorite way to cook poke weed.
I rounded out the meal with peaches and cream corn from the garden and a BBQ chicken leg quarter. The local Foodland market had them on sale for 39 cents a pound in 10# bags. This was too god a deal to pass up so I ended up with 30# in the freezer. I broke the bags down into 5# vacuum sealed bags which are just right to cover my Webber grill for a mass cooking.
I always skin my chicken to get rid of 60% of the calories before I package it for later. I threw the skin (lots of skin) out in the field next to my garden for a sky burial. Within 30 minutes there were buzzards on the pile cleaning it up, I don't know how they find stuff so quickly.
I leave deer gut piles in the same place, they are gone in an hour or so.
