In Germany, we ate some really good road kill wild boar. The police offered our landlord this really big boar that totalled the car that hit it.

I decided to take over the cooking for this years Christmas.
I'm slow cooking a brisket (250 degrees for about 9 hours)
...using worchestire, garlic (that I will mince), and red onion. Rub the brisket down wtih the minced garlic, place on foil that's in a baking tray then pour on a few cups of worchestire, layer red onions (usually takes about three) on top and wrap up.
I also just finished putting together for tomorrow:
Cucumber, onion, tomato, and vinegar salad
Fruit salad mixed with pineapple, brae burn apple, banana, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and honey
Green salad of romaine, spinach, cucumber, bell pepper, and green olives.
I have sweet potatoes baking in the oven right now so I can make mashed sweet potatoes.
Tomorrow I�ll throw in baked potatoes.
I took over the cooking. Otherwise, those silly women would want to cook turkey and ham. And I�m still burnt out on turkey. And, really, my dad always makes an excellent brisket. So this is my chance to show off and make him proud of my brisket cooking skills that he taught me.
What�s nice about the brisket is after you�re done cooking it, you have all those juices that melded together that creates a really nice sauce. Fantastic!
My wife has been pretty stressed out about this Christmas due to a career situation she is dealing with. So I've done pretty much all the shopping, have and will do all the cooking, and have been playing upbeat Christmas music while sauntering around the house, being silly, and keeping everyone in good spirits. I've had a blast. And it's help cure some of that boredome from having a 3.5 week paid vacation.

My wife has been pretty stressed out about this Christmas due to a career situation she is dealing with. So I've done pretty much all the shopping, have and will do all the cooking, and have been playing upbeat Christmas music while sauntering around the house, being silly, and keeping everyone in good spirits. I've had a blast. And it's help cure some of that boredome from having a 3.5 week paid vacation. Sorry to hear about your wife. I sure hope she can resolve it.  From my perspective, it is a quality of life issue. A stressful job affects all other areas of one's life. My DH and I had this very discussion yesterday. He is expecting a job offer next month and the top issue was "can I be happy in this position or not?" The job is in Oklahoma, btw!

Listen here, you yankees and foreigners! You do not have permission to do any yankee foolishness to Fuzzy Goodhue's Texas chili! If you are going to make it then stick to PROPER chili meat. I guess we have to spell this out for you silly people.  the only allowable meat for Texas chili is: beef venison possum alligator rattlesnake COUGARTHAT'S IT PEOPLE!! And no, you don't put BEANS in it, either!! This is not Franco American canned chili. Go large or go home!!
