OK, sooner or later, guarantees posts being lost.

Aargh. And recipes lost too. Overcooked the pheasants and they are pretty dry. Gonna have to skin the bones and and make a stew of the leavings. Damn, woof, woof. Ok, try, try, again.

Did get some pumpernickle, and some ground sirloin, got some eggs, onions and cardomom, maybe wanna make some tartare, to keep our minds off the pheseant failure.

For my shootin's (Pheasant in particular), I prepare them in one of two ways:

1. Crock pot with cream of mushroom soup and bacon to taste. Potatoes too. Yummylicious. Thighs are particularly good this way.

2. After cleaning all the shot out of the meat (breast, thighs, legs), piece them out into strips. Use these in a Wok stir fry as you would chicken.

Many world cultures prefer their chicken to be older, rangier, gamier and 'tougher'. It makes sense for those recipes that mandate extensive cooking. Broiler meat would just fall apart. That's one of the reasons that spent laying fowl meat is used in foods requiring extensive cooking-canned soups, pot pies (some, at least) and so forth. Anyways, think of Pheasant as 'older chicken' and follow some of these alternative non-traditional cooking methods used elsewhere. It may require a marinade or slower cooking times to suit your 'chicken palate'.

Last night we attemnded nice open air (i.e. free) concert of:


"Yamato - Drummers of Japan"

http://www.yamato.jp/info/e_index.html


at main square of our city (it was unofficial "Thank You" from Japan for our help with big earthquake that happened in Japan this year)!

It was very nice although the rain was drizzling (i was downpour before the concert but luckily it stopped)!


BTW we were at the:


"Kodo"

http://www.kodo.or.jp/news/index_en.html


concert 2 years ago and liked it very much as well (IMHO they are better and more traditional than "Yamato")!


Some pictures from Saturday night (from on-line Croatian newspapers)...

Coq a vin is my go-to tough bird recipe. Would work great for pheasant (which I've had).
