Portuguese style lamb shanks, with mashed cauliflower. Recipe from my friends cookbook, Buck, Buck, Moose. (Alas no venison his year). The sauce alone is worth the price of the book.

Marie Callender Chicken Pot Pie and a split of Chablis Priemere Cru. Not normally a white wine drinker, but this half-bottle has been in my fridge too long, and I choose to kill it.

Man, a split of wine really kicks an old man's butt!

Harvested a bunch of basil from my garden. So I decided to make a Margherita pizza. Trying to cut back on white flour so I made the dough with half white and half wheat.

That looks so good!

Last night was meatloaf made from venison and this morning I just finished a batch of homemade apple cider after 15 hrs in the cooker.

Friends turned us on to a cookbook from The Elote Cafe in Sedona, AZ. They describe the place as Mexican-inspired rather than purely Mexican, but whatever it is, the food they've made from its cookbook has been right in my gastronomic wheelhouse. I thought I'd give it a try and start out with a simple chorizo and rice dish.

Took a couple pounds of ground pork, mixed in the various spices which included three different types of chiles as well as a spiced rub mix the chef at The Elote refers to as "the cure". Let the mixture sit for 48 hours to give the flavors a chance to meld then browned it up.

The rice is a combination of lightly fried long-grain rice with corn, diced tomatoes and onions.

Add a puree of chicken stock, more chile spices, actual chipotle & garlic.

Bake for a half hour to let the rice absorb the liquid

Mix the chorizo in and serve

My verdict: super flavorful, but on the high end of the heat index for me (and I like spicy food). Grace liked the flavor, but not the heat. May try it again down the road, and cut the spices in half. Looking forward to cooking my way through this book.

Looks like a super tasty rice. I can't wait to start cooking again!

Gonna make some "chile colorado" with half venison and half wild pig from my father in law's ranch. Basically red chile with the meat cubed and simmered for a couple hours. It's a great thing for those tough front quarters on the deer. mmmmmm....mmmmm

I made a mean meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, Green beans and butter rolls.

Pork chops, sweet potatoes and asparagus cooked by my "second mom". The sweet potatoes were a big treat as I am just adding back some carbs in my diet, and I forgot how good they were.

Tonight is (Costco) T-Bone steaks on the grill (medium rare) with baked potatoes (butter and chives) and broccoli

That's MUCH better!

I gotta say I'd love to know the thought process that went in to you choosing those three pic's.
