Been some real cooking going on in BilletHeadVille, I will put three on here in one post so I don't get accused of padding the post count . Going to start with dove. The filleted breast halves were put into olive oil, fresh rosemary and some garlic then into fridge for awhile. Coals were lit and when ready transferred to the grill, A quick sear on one side and then the other, Then with mashed taters, green beans and an heirloom tomato from the Amish market, . Then we were watching a food show on Canadian comfort food. One of the dishes was , "Pâté Chinois This meat treat is pretty similar to shepherd's pie, but instead of crediting it to a sheep-herder, the Canadians name-check the Chinese -- "pâté chinois" literally means "Chinese pie" -- for reasons that are still unclear. Murky origins aside, your standard pate chinois contains layers of beef, creamed corn, and mashed potatoes." We did our take on it. Ground seasoned venison on bottom. The layer of creamed corn and then we added a layer of whole sweet corn. Then the mashed potatoes on top. Then under the broiler, Really good and easy to do. This will be repeated. So many variations I think to try. Then we have a Hank Shaw recipe. I am on his mailing list. No crap sent just updates and new dishes. I urge anyone to sign up even if you don't do the wild meat thing. Domestic store bought stuff can be subbed. I bring you doves with southern tomato gravy. Kind of an oxymoron as we subbed goose for the doves. Another one easy to make and really good. Again for you that forage at the supermarket use what you have, https://honest-food.net/ Don't limit yourself to the same old things people. BilletHead

Looks great John! BilletHead

Ruthead, Can't help you much with the Provo right out of town. When we were there in August that part of the river was like a circus. The flotilla of tubes, rafts, kayaks, paddleboards etc. was a spectacle to see. That being said that was before school and summer activities still going strong. I know you want to stay pretty close to town but i can help you further up the road. Follow the provo up into the lower unitas and it is more manageable. Go higher and can put you on some tiger trout. Here is our trip report for our trip west. Skip to page six and this is what you may want to try, The provo may be a bit calmer now so you may strike gold there. Good luck and let us know how it goes, BilletHead

Yep BilletHead approved! 👍👍 BilletHead p.s. I am sitting next to a cut cornfield with four collard and two morning doves. Wondering how many I might have if I didn't have this stupid phone in my hand?😣

Quill, That is a great book! I have four of Hank Shaw's books including this one. JohnsFolly gifted me the book and he got it singed by Hank. Many dishes have been made here in BilletHeadVille out of these books. Shaw has a great website too with recipes. Check it out buddy, Marty

My Cajun friend is up to teal hunt and open up his Missouri duck camp. I know he was up so drove up for a quick visit yesterday. He disappeared and as I was visiting with his son I seen him put a bag in the front of my truck. So when I got ready to leave he said I put some frozen fish and a package of wild pig sausage in your truck. So the thought of the wild pig sausage peaked my interest thinking what should I do with it. Not sure how it was seasoned and could not tell by opening and smelling. Squash was on sale and Pat brought home three butternut and two acorns yesterday. Acorn, yes would do something with them. So I cooked up the sausage. It had some red pepper flakes in it. So it had a small bite of that spice and it had been salted . Pretty good. So I split the acorns and gutted them. Some olive oil and pepper. Face down on foil lined cookie sheet and into a hot 400 degree oven to bake and soften up. While they were baking I diced up an onion and browned it then added some garlic. Tossed in sausage in to that. Acorns soft and out, Filled with the sausage mixture and covered with grated asiago cheese. This went in the oven again this time under the broiler to melt and brown cheese, Hot dang pretty good. Thought I could eat another half but no way, When Mrs. BilletHead gets home from work I will warm one up for her. I will earn brownie points, BilletHead

Bummer man! Here is to a speedy recovery and there will be other trips , BilletHead

Travis Buddy! Way to go dude. You deserve it, BilletHead

Sun-Dried tomato bisque soup with green chili grilled cheese sandwiches , Oh tomatoes not sun dried but our sliced tomatoes dehydrated by me. Maybe kind of sun dried because dehydrator had some sun on it by the window? . Had to use two dried cups of maters and then put into boiling water to rehydrate. When rehydrated looked like a bunch! Also used rosemary, oregano and basil I had dried. Then some garlic, diced onion, vegetable broth, tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes. Cooked up before blending, Then blended and added some half and half to cook more. Plated up and consumed. We will do this dish all winter and into the spring thinking of fresh summer tomatoes next season, BilletHead

Works this way for me Phil! Instead of looking in my endless list of favorites bookmarked I can visit this thread . Heck I would of never known of this rain forecast link years back if it wasn't for you posting and thanks for doing that way back when, BilletHead
