Tonight the family and i enjoyed grilled elk steaks sauteed morels and onions and roasted potatoes. Traded the neighbor a good mess of morels for the elk steaks from his hunt in Colorado last November. Great trade. Elk is amazing wish i could afford to join him on his trip this year. Maybe next year.

Slab Slinger, I never wrote down a recipe. I just threw things together.

Try this:

Trim the mushroom stem to about 1/4 inch. Fine dice the stem and put in a bowl. Add about a heaping tablespoon of bread crumbs or panko. Mince some herbs finely and add. Put in a big pinch of salt and almost as much fresh ground pepper. Add a chicken egg size portion of cream cheese. Add half as much mozzarella. Add as much cooked bacon or ham as the cream cheese. Think about a splash of sriracha. Add either 2 Tablespoons of cream or one egg and mix well. Put the result, well mixed, in a baggie. Trim about a quarter inch off the corner and squirt the mix into the mushroom.

Chill well to "set" the mix then fry it in butter.

Although it will tarnish my haute cuisine image, I will admit I have several old school casseroles that I love and fix often. One such made our dinner tonight.

Chicken spaghetti with an avocado side.

Chief had some yesterday. Some Amish market deal. They were really good. I'm certainly not above being a copycat.

They are laying like crazy now. This is four days worth of eggs less a couple that were breakfast.

Apple trimmings.

Indirect and as cool as I can keep it. I'm thinking probably 30 minutes to an hour. I just want them to get a little tan color and then into the pickling jar.

Pickling liquid: 6 cups cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp. kosher salt, 2 tbsp. pickling spices, 3 cloves garlic sliced, 1 Vidalia sliced and separated into rings. Boil everything but the garlic and onion for five minutes, eggs, garlic and onion into pickling jar. When the eggs are ready of course.

Stay tuned. This is real time.

It's like watching awesomeness.
