This post should really be called, "How to Butcher a Pig in Flip Flops."You see, I was having breakfast. A Greek yogurt with strawberry jam to be exact. And it occurred to me that I needed to butcher the Javelina if I was going to have it for dinner.So I marched out to the barn…
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…
I spent yesterday making wine and smoking Javelina. For those of you who don't know what a Javelina is, it's not a pipe. It's an animal that looks like a desert rat... somewhere between a wild boar and a rat. Really. It's true.So I thought I'd show you how it all came to be.You see,…

Today, for all the wild women in the world, (or all the men who know wild women and like to give them presents), I'm giving away some rockin' clothes from SHE Safari.As you know, I don't know how to dress myself. Walking into my closet every morning is a source of stress. When I was…
But first you have to shoot it. Just after sunrise.Preferably over a cotton field.Near sunflowers. Dead ones. Doves love dead sunflowers. I do too. I also love dead dove. It tastes like liver, the pudding of the gods.You can read about dead sunflowers in the last chapter of Food Heroes. I love them. More than…
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…
Remember that time when I brought my shotgun to Kennedy airport and got treated like the Pope? And then remember how Jet Blue decided not to put it on the plane? Well they did eventually and were very apologetic and gave me vouchers and here I am. With my new best friend.You've probably noticed that…
