Venison with Kartoffblabla

Actually it's Kartoffelknödel, but I can't pronounce it. :)
A friend mentioned these awhile back and I've been wanting to try making them, they look so good .... I googled Kartoffelknödel and this seemed to be the basic recipe everyone uses.

I combined one egg with
cooked tatoes
flour
nutmeg
white pepper
and salt





rolled the tatoes into balls and dropped into water with beef boullion cubes added.
Let them rise to the top and cook for 15 minutes. Removed with a slotted spoon and drained.



I dished up a bowl of my canned venison with gravy and topped with a Kartoffelknödel...



They weren't the prettiest kartoffblablas I've seen but they were tasty!



I plan on practicing making these..... and also practicing my pronunciation. :)

My Favorite Rifle

I walked out to the old corral and stock chute, looking for a place to take a pic of my favorite rifle.
Wonder how many head of livestock have traveled through this thing.

I have visions of cows, beef steers and spent bulls being loaded into the back end of an old pickup......stock panels on each side of the pickup bed to contain them while being transported to the vet, sale barn or ?...





My favorite rifle... I use it during deer season.
It's a Marlin .30-30 lever action with open sites..





I absolutely love this thing. It's light weight and accurate.



One of the places I hunt.. This pic was taken during deer season. I'm sort of an old fashioned hunter I guess. No deer stand, blind, camo or feeders. I wear my blue jeans, farm boots, warm coat, coveralls when the snow flies....

Oh yeah.. I also wear my lucky little diamond earrings. :)
They must be lucky, I'm always able to bring home a deer.



It 's a good feeling to be able to provide meat for the table. :)
