We've always done our best to grow and produce the majority of the food we consume. We hunt and fish, and garden. We have a neighbor who sells grass-fed beef, and another neighbor who produces lambs. So we make an effort to eat local and fresh, and not buy packaged foods.
We love to "eat wild" wherever we are- oysters on the Gulf coast, blue crabs, etc- and to try local cuisines when we travel.
We've had a great fall with our garden, and with our oyster mushroom logs. We found more mushrooms nearby, and today picked a few more.
After picking the mushrooms, I saw four grouse flush by me. In excitement I cried out, "Look! Four grouse!". I scared one so bad he flew into a metal pole barn.
Well, here was our bounty just from that little trip:
I did a braised grouse in a mushroom cream sauce, with garden veggies (broccoli, carrots, onions, shallots, and greens) over garden mashed potatoes.
It's hunting season, and while we have licenses neither one of us was carrying a weapon. I guess I"m scary enough without a gun!
