To capture colors before the sun

For you are the one

Photo credit: ( Scott Cain ) "The dock that wasn't" This morning as I lounged on the patio in near perfect summer weather. My mind wondered to other things not in the moment. And I thought about how since leaving in April my room / office had been turned into a junk closet. It was no longer my place. It was now a dim crowded little space that had once been my home. The thought a sad one, was only trumped by the realization that I had moved into that room after Maisie had moved out. I can only imagine how she felt when she returned to see her home no longer had a room for her. There was temporary space for sure. But this place was no longer her home.

The venison from Robert Ruiz (AKA, Bobby Danger!). It had been in our freezer since 2022 and 2023 respectively.  Essentially all ingredients were what was on hand on this day. At the start of the day (8am), the meat was still frozen. so I added it to the slow cooker immediately, and covered it with the all the liquids required for the recipe. Once defrosted (10am), I added the remaining ingredients. Turing the cooker on high for one hour and then back to low for 7 hours. I estimate that all should be ready by 6pm. 2 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound venison cubed 1 pound ground venison 1/2 pound bacon (cut to squares)*cook separately and then add 1/4 cup all purpose flour Freshly ground salt and pepper 2 cups beer (Guinness) *one pint 2 shots whiskey (Old Grand Dad 115) 1 tablespoon Worcest...
