Best Food Blogger Nomination for 2012

Good friend Marty has nominated my blog for a contest at the Friend's Eat site again this year.
Last year with Marty and everyone's help, my blog made it to 2nd place. I was pretty amazed! (still am)

Can't thank Marty enough, also those friends who voted... that was very kind of you!

The voting has begun for this year and I believe it runs til the 17th of December.

The Friend's Eat badge posted on the right side of my blog page is supposed to link to a place to vote. BUT I can't seem to get it to work! lol

This link might work better.  Press the "Love" button to vote if you like.. if not that's fine too.

While trying to figure out how to post the badge and find my page at the Friend's Eat site, I checked out the other entries.
Let me tell you, there were over 400, (a kazillion more than last year)  and they range from New York City cookin' to Vegan cookin' to anything you want cookin'.

...and here I am thinking about the way I cook. lol

It really does make me happy that my little blog is included in all of this. :)

Thanks again Marty, I appreciate your thoughtfulness and your friendship.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to cast a vote too. :)

A little deer camp fun

I enjoyed deer camp this year.   hmmmm, guess I do every year.
This is what the women do when the men are out hunting. :)

One of our "finger food" meals.

Pudding shots and jello shots were made in advance to "chill".

My first taste of Chocolate alcohol infused whipped cream...  

it was pretty tasty stuff! 

jello shots...

 prepped some calf fries ...

We needed cracker crumbs.
I could have brought out the food processor but where's the fun in that!

This was actually a lot quicker... :)

we made several batches, next time I'll get a box for each tire. :)

dipped the fries in an egg milk bath and rolled them in the cracker crumbs...

set up a table in the old shop..

used my new double burner cooker that I use for things like chicharonnes   .

we fried the calf fries...

seasoned french fries...
I like them seasoned with fish fry mix.

boiled a few spicy shrimp and corn on the cob...

Finger food.....

We played a few games of pool this year too.  The old table was almost level!

Had a fun week, looking forward to next year. :)
