Want to try some Ness?

Thanks RPS, Don't even pretend to be a cook but have fun trying! I will copy and try this next time, BilletHead

Mrs. BilletHead said after this meal "You Wok Baby" So after making the Holy Wok I just had to get me another one less "holy" and learn to cook with it. Another cheapie from Wally World 17.95 special carbon steel. Did the break in (season) and today decided to cook with it. Had a fridge full of goose meat. Did five pounds of jerky yesterday and decided after finding a recipe to do General Tso's goose today to use up more of the meat. After a fruitless hunt this morning for more geese we did a run to the store for ingredients. With this done the Mrs. (My sous chief) did some white rice and put it in the fridge to cool so that I could attempt to fry rice. So as I did the fried rice she worked up the goose and ingredients for the Tso's. Fried rice did not look so good but tasted fine. Too gooey, going to have to work on my rice making. Then heated the oil hot and began to fry the goose chunks, Again cooking the goose meat where it was still pink in the center. Tender enough knife not needed you could bite the chunks on half. I had to try some before the sauce was introduced :). After dumping all the oil but a table spoon full chopped green onions and tai chilies were dumped in and stir fried up quickly. A bit of the dust from hell was introduced too. Then the sauce dumped in and thickened, then the meat. Then plated up on the ugly fried rice. This was very good and enough leftovers fro another day this week, BilletHead

Making of the special dust. Most of the last of the garden hot peppers. A mix of chilies and jalapenos. Gave them a wash, used scissors to cut off the stems and a coring tool to get out 99 percent of the membrane and seeds. Took all the peppers and smoked until soft. Then dehydrate until crispy, crunchy moisture free. Put in food processer. chopper, coffee grinder and process to a powder, When doing this I sneezed and got a runny nose . Use sparingly. This will give your meals a smoky kick and still not overpower the meals taste. BilletHead

Bonus points for Mitch! But Man she sure can cook! Ha If I go to singing that song I get this weird look and "What are you trying to tell me?" BilletHead

Marcus, Just got a box in the post heading your way. Receipt says eta will be Wednesday so keep your eyes on the mail box. Billetheadl

We all should be watching out for the Zombie Goose Apocalypse coming soon in a season near you.

"Goose on the loose" That is what we will call todays hunt. Got this week off to a good start this morning. A rather nice batch came in and six shots, six birds went down. We gathered up the dead or so we thought. Got them in a pile and as I went to get the truck the Mrs. started picking up the decoys. As I got to the truck I hear her squeal. Just thinking she was seeing more birds coming into the field as I was gave it no thought. Driving back to the spot I seen her dashing across the field. Rolled down the window say what the heck are you doing? Look up there one of the geese got up and ran. It was trying to hide in some sparse grass in a waterway. I went to the rescue and pounced onto the hiding goose and rung it's neck. Well I did not exactly pounce but gracefully fell onto the hiding bird .

No problem on shipping, When I get the address I will get them on the way. Just glad he will have one to use now. For many years I climbed like a monkey just sitting on limbs sometimes. Back before harnesses were around. Then later when they said to use a rope from you to the tree:) Now I am showing how old I am and how long ago this was. I am to the point of just ladder stands and ground blinds. If I was to monkey from limb to limb or use a hang on stand a harness would be a must. BilletHead

Marcus, Did you find yourself a harness? If not I have two I will send you. I got your back, neck, ribs, legs and arms and other extremities and internal parts covered from damage. PM me your address bud, BilletHead

The Holy Wok Report, That sounds like a Asian Food Christian Cooking News show. I will give the Wok a two thumbs up.. This afternoon I put it to the test. Took one goose breast, two side fillets and cut them on the bias in 1/8 inch thick strips more or less about two to three inches long. Dusted the meat with the dust from hell. Set meat aside and took a knob of fresh ginger. About what you can hold in the palm of your hand and as thick as your hand. Sliced, diced and chopped fairly fine. To this added a couple of heaping tablespoons of minced garlic. Salted the meat some and added garlic and ginger to the meat and mixed well. Put the mix in a zip lock, rolled out the air in the bag and put in the fridge to rest. Two hours but I think overnight would do better. Peeled two hole large onions and cut them up in eight wedges. Took one head of celery cleaned and sliced about a quarter inch. Put these into another zip lock and in the fridge for later. Started the charcoal and while it was getting ready I worked up a box, yes box of Rice a Roni fried rice side. Not too fond but it will do in a pinch. Grill about ready I filled a squeeze bottle with olive oil. Wok onto the grill and meat into wok. Shot of olive oil into the meat for moisture and when dripping through the Holy Wok a flare up of fire, ummm fire good I like fire! Stir meat with a shot of the oil once and a while. Brown the meat but do not overcook. Should be pink in the center, pull meat off and replace with the veggies. Grill, stir and shot of oil until veggies are hot but still crunchy. Mix meat and veggies and serve with your side. I had a ginger beer with this. Really good . You could taste all the elements in the dish, BilletHead

Yes Ronnie cast iron is the bomb! We have some really nice cast iron skillets that were my grandmas and older than she was. In this case cheap works well, BilletHead

Czech nymphing , what was the origin of species from the meat counter?

Well I am half nuts but Ness has gone full blown bonkers.

it's all about the charcoal flavor with this wok JD. I can make fajitas that drip with juices out of your tortilla. You won't be using this on your home stove. BilletHead

Yes Friends but it would be like you robbing the cradle . The Mrs. is nursing for a young single pretty doctor. The Mrs. is old enough to be her mother. She would be a catch. But your sell by date has passed my friend. You would meet her criteria though. She wants a man with a job and his own teeth, Wait a minute Ness do you have your original teeth the good lord gave you? Oh yea she likes to fish too. I am so glad you are a good sport, BilletHead

Big grilling pan. I like to grill outside and do so often. Various thin sliced meats and veggies. Sometimes my grill pan is way too small. I like doing large batches and overflows happen. My pan I have had for years is 11" across and 3" deep. I have looked online and cannot find larger ones. So a plan was hatched to make my own. I took my current pan to welding shop to a friend for guidance. Yes I can make you one but have you thought of a big wok? Duh why did I not think of that? Back on the internet for research. Lets see we can get all sizes, made of hammered steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, flat bottom, round botton etc. All I need is a cheapo. Then there are various ways of seasoning them when new. So yesterday in Springfield we hit an Asian market where we wok shopped. Well I did as the Mrs. thinks sometimes I am way out there. So I settle on a 14" that is almost 5" deep. Round bottom so I bought a wok ring. Wok 19.95, ring 4.95. Today I set the wok on the ring and took a level to level it up. Put in a little water and center was found so I center punched me a divot. Then took a compass and from center made me five circles an inch apart. Then approx. an inch apart center punched me more marks. Drilled all marks with a 7/16" bit from inside of wok leaving burrs on underside. Then used an angle grinder with a flap disk to get rid of drill burrs. Then finer sandpaper smoothing inside and out. So now seasoning, Put the wok in the gas grill and heated up to around 450 more or less to give it a good burn. Removed and give it a coat of goose oil and back into the gas grill to work its magic. Grilled a onion in big chunks until crispy brown. (Said to do this to remove any metal taste? ) Removed and cleaned and coated again with olive oil. I am happy with the results of my Holy Wok. Now have to try it! BilletHead

Chicken wings! Man I like them but the price, for what was a less desirable part of the bird. Out of this world, I cry FOWL . A buddy of mine buys ten pounds at a time from Sam's. Flash frozen in a big bag so that is what the Mrs. and I did yesterday. So today while Mrs. was at work I thawed up enough to go in the grill basket. Coated them up with some dust from hell. Dust from hell you ask? Ok last season I smoked some jalapenos and chilies. Right out of the smoker I put them in the dehydrator. Dry them until crispy dry like a rock. Then into a coffee grinder, chopper, blender etc. Grind the peppers into a dust. Caution do not take a wiff no mater what. NO! So coat the wing pieces lightly, a little goes along way. Grill baby grill those babies until done, So then if you wish toss in your favorite bbq sauce. Here I did in my home made sauce. I dug in right away but put the Mrs. wings into foil and set the slow cooker to warm from when she gets home from work. (bonus points boys) Just the right amount of spice heat, BilletHead

So just how do you screen over the computer? Was the actual person (I say person cuz I bet you may not know if it is a man or woman) as pretty as the internet photo? So now you are not that much younger than I. We are getting closer to our sell by date. We may be close to goingg sour or moldy. Now then was the date sour or moldy. Was she a little crusty around the edges? Did a cougar show up? ha! Man I am glad to have a spouse like I have. She has already asked where we will be hunting this weekend, BilletHead Sorry Mic we have gone from some good pond fishing to ness noodling for a keeper

Did this morning and I will be their shadow for the next couple of days to hope they do not change the pattern. BilletHead

Hahahhaha Ness! We should talk soon . AND NO I AM NOT GOING TO BE YOUR WING MAN. heheheheheheh BilletHead

You are still fishing Ness. Just not for the quarry that has fins :).

I think there are a bunch of frogs in this marsh. So much growth you cannot see them. This blind/ hump in the marsh has been hunted so much the bank is open making frogs easy to see and grab plus the frogs like it for them to hunt. I checked another place out there with binoculars and there is a clean bank there too. I may have to take a closer look in the dark . BilletHead

Did some frog grabbing before setting up for teal this morning. Got more frogs than teal so we had frog and fowl for todays meal. This big one is in a 12" skillet, BilletHead
