Into the Wild

I'm thinking that Kathy and I are cooking on the wild side this past couple of weeks.....a wild game kick that is.  Last week, you know we cooked gator and next week we already planned to "cook our goose".  Tonight, we cooked and ate venison, which is just a sneaky way of saying, "deer meat". 

I shopped like a bog boy and picked up a green pepper and some sliced mushrooms.  We already had one box of mushrooms but I got another one.  Why?  Because we like it!

We marinated the venison with meat tenderizer, Worchestershire sauce, and steak seasoning, and let it sit fuming in its juices.  Oh, by the way, my son, Jason, gave us the deer meat which he had processed by Joe Wood.  Hey Joe!  Beautiful job on the cut!  And Jason, thanks for hooking Mom and Dad up!

Kathy browned the venison while I diced up the veggies.  The grand dish that we were preparing was Venison Stir Fry.  It consisted of the following (Get this because there will be a quiz later!): green pepper, red pepper, onion, mushrooms, lots of mushrooms, tomatoes with green chilis, and unmeasured dashes of A-1, Heinz 57, Worchestershire, Crystal's Louisiana sauce, garlic salt and season salt.  (If you want to thicken the sauce, use a heaping table spoon of corn starch dissolved in a little water.)  After adding all of our ingredients with the meat and veggies, we let it simmer for about 20 minutes.  Total prep time was around 40 minutes.  Worth it!!!

The side dished were: green peas, apple sauce, jasmine rice, and cole slaw.  We like to eat! 

Mom was our sweet guest and we all enjoyed this meal entirely.

Food taste score: 3.5
