Sad Sack
I’ve been such a putz when it comes to updating. I blame it on the fact that Special Someone hasn’t been taking enough pictures.
So….a couple of weekends ago I hosted a Freezer Dinner. What’s that, you ask? In a couple of weeks I will be taking possession of my yearly slaughtered lamb and I needed room in my chest freezer. I decided to clean out a bunch of random “samples” to make room. Imagine a mottley conglomeration of various types of meat, complemented with cheesy baked potatoes, mushrooms in red wine sauce and a salad followed by coconut cream pie.
Various ribeyes, new york strips, deer steak (marinated in a teriyaki/red wine blend) and andouille sausage. Not pictured are the 3 lamb roasts that I cooked inside.
20 lbs of meat for six people. Can you say leftovers?
The garden wearing it’s Fall ensemble.
Patio furniture has been stored away for Winter. That makes the outdoor entertaining space seem genormous.
Hell Kitty says “Disturb me and face my Wrath!”
It should be noted that during dinner, any time I got up Zippy Kitty would hop onto my chair and “talk” to the other guests. I guess I’ve raised her to be the ultimate hostess. Except for the part about chewing on ladies’ purses and shoes in general.

That’s a lot of meat…and a big grill. I don’t think I’ve had deer meat before.
Oh Dear God look at all that grilled animal
Is the kitty up next?? 
Your backyard looks fun!!
Holy meat! And…the cat sounds adorable.
I love a good grilled cat.
Hell Kitty. Nice.
I haven’t had venison in forever! Do you soak yours in milk beforehand? It cuts down the bitterness. YUM!!
All that meat makes me queasy.
But otherwise it looks like a fun time. 
I wish I was invited. That meal sounds delicious and the cat is such a lady .
@upandoutward - The deer in South Dakota are essentially corn fed, unlike the deer that roam the forests of Indiana and Ohio. That means the meat isn’t gamey and there is no need to soak it. I just like the tanginess of teriyaki with venison.

I guess it makes sense that different plants make for different deer tastes, eh? I want some venison now! I might need to go hunting…
Southwestern Lasagna in your inbox, sir.
I’m drooling over that meat. Sounds like a fun time.
