This is a delicious little dish I made while bird hunting in Montana. You should really try it. Even if you don't have a partridge handy, it will work with other bird meat... like chicken for example. I recommend keeping the bone in whatever meat you use so the meat doesn't dry out.
These are the…
This one goes out to my friends at the magical, mystical CF Ranch for letting me take over the kitchen in their private residence and cook up some Javelina. That is love.
These are the back straps from the Javelina, silver skin removed (as we talked about yesterday). They marinated for quite some time. Since Javelina…
They say that there's more than one way to skin a cat. But as far as I know, there's really only one way to skin a pig. And anyway, I think they're lying about the cat.
If you've ever been to a butcher shop, this looks a little bit like what you'll see there. Except we're…

One of the things I've liked most about this book tour, are the in between moments. The things I've done on the way to the book events.
The night before the delta dove hunt is one of my favorite nights of the year. It is full of food, and laughter, and guitar blues, and whiskey, and…
I'm not sure where to begin, but to put it quite simply, this is the story of "Camp Chaos."
It's been a fun, whirlwind of a book tour so far, lots of plane rides and new faces, and public speaking, and sweaty palms, and good parties. And lots of book signing.
I don't have writers cramp yet.…
Fruit vinegars are a great way to enhance the flavor in almost anything and a good way to use an over abundance of fruit. You can use them to deglaze the pan of a roasted chicken or pork chop, add them to green salads and fruit salads, or add them to sparkling water for a…
If I was sent to that proverbial island and there was one food I could take, it would be liver mousse. I can hear your collective gasp. Most people are reviled by the stuff, but I call it God’s pudding. It’s slightly sweet and very rich and I could eat it endlessly.
