Redhorse Cafe -- the Food Truck

[wardancer]

Glad to be home ! Was a good trip ! It seems as a hunter I've become the teacher and the next generation of hunters are my students ! Walked many mile with my daughter and saw some really cool stuff , although we didn't kill anything I did instruct a nephew on how to field dress and then process a nice little buck ! Had a huge Bobcat walk to within 15 yards of us before he smelled us , and that was amazing to watch. Saw some turkeys doing their little rituals with a big old Tom , who later gave himself to one of the other nephews. I did shoot a coyote as there are so many of them. All in all it was a good 5 days !

Wild turkey is good eats, especially if they've been eating beechnuts and acorns. My great uncle rubbed his with salt and fresh ground pepper, and cooked it covered with some water in the roaster to keep it moist. He made a bouquet garni with thyme, parsley, bay leaves, garlic cloves, juniper berries, and whole cloves that he put in the water. He also put some thyme springs and cored and quartered Granny Smith apples in the body cavity while roasting.


I'm not optimistic. The electric distribution company has been holding a cherry picker convention in the alley across the street. They've got all the lines covered with guards. It looks like they're getting ready to move the transformer and lines to the new poles they put up in the spring. I bet my power is going to go out in short order. I'm not sure how much they're going to get done. The sky is starting to look threatening.

Have a candle, matches and a flashlight at hand.
I pray that it does not take long.

I am getting hungry for turkey though it is late but not to late. Outside it is black as night.

Hey WD, do they have beechnuts in OK? I haven't seen them in this part of TX. Back east, where my great uncle hunted, they were very common. The nuts would be all over the ground by now. The turkey, bears and deer would be having a feast day

[OLChemist]

Yikes, I just looked across the street and Jet is peeking over the edge of the basket of a parked aerial truck! The linemen are eating lunch and he is waiting for handouts or dropage

[Broken Arrow]

Than he wil get his share, hopefully.

[OLChemist]

He could come home and eat out of his dish, LOL.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah, but other dishes may be surprising interesting.

[ches]

How is ever body?

[wardancer]

I think they live in warmer climate. I don't remember ever seeing any in Ok , or KS.

*Rose sweeps up the fallen leaves gathering around the tables and straightens Chuy's "Gone south for the winter" sign.*

Anybody home?


How's things, folks?

[subeeds]

Things down here a little chilly. Morning lows have been in the low 40s, with highs only around mid 60s. At least the wind has died down for now.

Hi Ches, how are ya?

WD, isn't teaching the next generation what we are supposed to do? Glad it was a good trip. I would have loved to have been that close to a bobcat. Every now and then we will see a bobcat track in the road, but not all that often. When we first moved out there, the 2nd night we were in the house, something woke me up. I wasn't sure what it was until I heard screaming. Freaked me out, so I woke hubby up and told him some woman was being hurt somewhere. The screaming came again, and he started laughing, then told me it was a bobcat.

Rose, did Jet get out of the basket? I can just imagine him going up in the thing. LOL!

[OLChemist]

Chuy, some hot chocolate w/ a touch of cinnamon and chackewe con huevos, or hot tea and some warm pueblo bread with chokecherry jam, please.


I didn't see Jet get out but I assume he did, since he is sitting on the porch waiting for breakfast. He doesn't seem to have joined a line crew. I image he thought the hard hat gave him helmet hair. LOL.

Bobcat cries are major creepy. It does sound like a woman screaming bloody murder. I've seen one crossing a road in Brazoria National Wildlife Preserve, never any closer.

It looks like we're going to get one last warm spell before winter. It's going to be in the upper 70's, low 80's today and tomorrow. But, it's nippy this morning.

[Broken Arrow]

Hot chocolate, please.

There a many fallen leaves which need to be swept up. It is getting cold and uncomfortable outside.
Things could be better than they are.

[wardancer]

Sorry , I've been busy ! Thinking about deer season , getting ready to hunt. Hope all is well ! Nothing like an 80 pound kitty cat named Bob to get your attention !
