Don't cook it so long and turn the heat down a tad.

Yep, I like my salmon rare.  Wife likes it burnt.

 I was just funning with you.  I've never had blackened salmon but I hear its the seasoning that actually makes it black.

Yes blackening just refers to seasoning.  I like Emeril's.  BAM!!

But my wife likes it way over cooked.  But hey whatever.

Last night was a venison dish. When I was butchering my doe, I put aside some select pieces of meat including the thin end of the backstraps. I cut the venison as thin as I could. I also sliced some onions, minced garlic, and thinly sliced young portabella mushrooms. I made a mushroom liquor / beef stock using boullion cubes and dried porcini mushrooms.

I browned the venison in two batches with a little olive oil and a pat or two of butter. Added Worchestershire sauce and salt & pepper. I removed the meat and then cooked the onions and mushrooms. Once the onions were translucent, I added back the meat, a little more S&P, a 1/2 cup of red wine (Pine Ridge - Petit Verdot), and the mushroom / beef stock. I covered the dish and let simmer 20 -25 mins. I then added sour cream and smoked paprika. We served the stroganoff with wide egg noodles and topped with chopped parsley.

I like making this dish with beef as well. However, venison adds a greater depth of flavor than you can get with beef. It is this kind of dish that makes me a meat hunter. If you don't like venison this dish could change how you think about venison.

ooooohhhhh my.

I got a pot of chili going.  Simple old school chili.  Love it with cheese and crackers.

Heat comes from the candied jalapenos that lovie loves.
