Yet, I don't have a fishing rod, don't have a rifle or a bow and arrow... and, I don't know the first thing about field dressing rabbits or deer. Modern man. I could learn but... for now I'll remain dependent on the local grocery store (and hope that I'll always be able to do so).aimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-88436878154596855332015-04-27T16:04:06.478-07:002015-04-27T16:04:06.478-07:00Oh well, "poulet a l'estragon" is pr...Oh well, "poulet a l'estragon" is pretty wonderful too.<br /><br />To get a fowl with much taste, we find it's worth buying not chicken but Guinea Fowl. One of these gives us a roast dinner, sandwiches later in the week, perhaps a small lunchtime risotto, and a pretty fine soup. And our tarragon has begun to thrive in the Spring sunshine. I'm licking my lips at the thought of it.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-81357241814483773362015-04-26T12:43:18.819-07:002015-04-26T12:43:18.819-07:00Hi dearieme

Sprinkle with garlic and pepper. I barbecue them over charcoal 5 minutes to a side and they are delicious.<br /><br />Maybe I'm just getting thrifty in my old age, I could buy twice as much chicken for the same price.<br /><br />Barbecued rabbit is delicious also, and they are free. It used to crack me up when I had guest over and they ask me how I got 2 extra legs with the chicken.Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-39670798259350162462015-04-26T04:04:39.567-07:002015-04-26T04:04:39.567-07:00We don't eat a lot of steak but had a tasty on...We don't eat a lot of steak but had a tasty one each last night, at about $5 per pop. Probably you eat bigger ones. These were from a local herd of Red Poll - lovely beasts, they are - which graze on the local common pasture for much of the year.<br /><br />One of my wife's loveliest kitchen ideas has been to harvest plenty of tarragon in the autumn and make pats of tarragon butter for the freezer. These decorate any steak we eat through the winter. Mmmmmm!<br /><br />I mention this because you live in what I imagine is a tarragon-friendly climate.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-58352920673156690072015-04-22T21:20:45.022-07:002015-04-22T21:20:45.022-07:00Hi Paul

My small dog is enough to clean up after.<br /><br />I'm thinking a sheep or two could cut lawn maintenance to zero and they are tasty. Of course with the limited water rationing, they won't have much to eat. Which gives me another problem, feeding the sheep. The solution to one problem leads to another problem.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments.Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-86036502022592923322015-04-22T21:01:18.892-07:002015-04-22T21:01:18.892-07:00Hi AIM

You'll get a full return of capital in a couple years and then be eating free steak for the rest of your life. Steak and eggs for breakfast; cheeseburgers for lunch; filet mignon, porterhouse or t-bone steak and a baked potato for dinner. As for Congress... let them eat cake.AIMnoreply@blogger.com
