    The Weather's Turned Cold... So What Do You Fix for Supper/Dinner

    Cold weather around here calls for a Gumbo !

    This is my wife's favorite
    Chicken Gizzards , Smoked Andouille Sausage a little leftover Thanksgiving turkey, a dark roux, onions, celery and bell pepper...slow simmered and served over white rice.
    I put a big package of chicken gizzards and hearts in the slow cooker 7 am , tonight those little tidbits will be sooooo tender you can cut them with a plastic spoon .

    A big bowl of Gizzard Gumbo , sprinkled with some File' Powder (ground dried sassafras leaves), hot buttered toasty French Bread...that's a meal hard to beat on a cold winter's night !

    Just getting in from the woods. Lunch was two bananas and some tea biscuits on top of a cliff.

    I have two pork chops baking on top of stuffing with apples, raisins and a splash of cream sherry. Going to have some mixed veggies with it. Had half a celery stalk with pb on it to hold me.

    Soup or stews are always good. My granddaughter calls my version "Stoop". Dice and onion and saute it in a little oil. Add a couple of cloves of chopped garlic just before it gets translucient then add cubed venison. Brown then reduce heat and add chopped celery, carrots, and water. If you like it add a can of V-8 and some italian diced tomatoes. Cook for 4 hrs or so, I tend to have very little liquid in mine. I add frozen corn and peas 20 minutes before serving and adjust liquid. Salt and pepper to taste.

    Deer Chili or Beef Stew are always welcome on a cold night. I spent my whole working life outside and there was many a cold wet miserable day that I looked forward to a hot meal and a hot shower.

    Your version sounds really good so I copied and printed out your recipe and will give it a whirl! It will obviously need a big batch of home-made "Camp Cook's Best Biscuits" to go along with it ...

    THE CAMP COOK'S BEST BISCUITS

    Ingredients

    - 4 cups of flour
    - 4 eggs
    - 1/2 cup butter or Crisco
    - 2/3 cup whole sweet milk
    - 1 tsp salt
    - 2 tsp sugar
    - 6 tsp baking powder

    Preparation & Cooking

    Add the dry ingredients to the flour, mix well. Cut in the shortening with two knives or a pastry blender. Add the milk and beaten eggs. Mix only until blended. (Do not overwork the dough and you will get light and flakey biscuits!) Press the dough (do not roll) into a cake about 3/4 inch thick. Dust with additional flour as needed. Cut rounds with a clean, empty, floured 14 oz. tin can. Place the rounds closely in a frying pan or baking sheet and bake at about 450 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden. The amounts given here will make about one dozen "man sized" biscuits. This beautiful bread is good with butter, better with honey, but BEST when drowned in thick, rich sausage gravy.
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Those biscuits sound good covered with some home canned deer and a rich gravy, then another for dessert with lots of butter and homemade jam.
