Enjoying some of this spring's bounty!
« on: May 04, 2019, 09:53:28 PM »
I didn't turkey hunt this weekend so we celebrated me being at home by trying out some of this season's turkey harvest. I fried up some breast meat, made mashed taters, buttermilk biscuits, and gravy from the drippings. For dessert, I made a thin mint brownie cheesecake. My wife and I are both full as ticks now. Life is good!

I think I just gained a couple of pounds, just looking at those dishes!  That must have been some mighty fine eating there, and I can smell the aroma coming through the confuser making me hungry again....  :lol sign

I apologize for not joining you all. I must have missed my invitation somehow...lol This was a true FEAST. As has already been said, I gained weight just by looking at all the those vittles. You are one "good cooker," as my daughter used to say to her mom. Never tried fried turkey, but I will now after seeing how good yours looks!

Being from the Deep South I was raised on "cat head" biscuits.  Ummm...but that looks good.

Had enough for leftovers this week, too!

Hanshi, I grew up with the term "cat head" biscuits, or cat heads for short. When I got out into the big, wide world and used that term, people would look at me like I was nuts. Glad to see somebody else knows what a cat head is!

I don't  suppose  you'd  be kind enough to post the recipes? Some of us would love to try and replicate  your feast!   :applaud :applaud   especially  the fried turkey!
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!
