The drought is really bad, never seen it so brown here. People aren’t allowed campfires. The McKinley Fire is threatening homes and cabins. Anchorage, Kenai peninsula & Mat Su need a good rain.
The code on the pict didn't work..
That is terrible...
What type of logging up there?? Does is it help??

It's horrible. I still haven't heard from my friend near Willow. I'm really getting worried to the point of bugging her via phone.

Me charcoal grilled chicken quarter, salad w/romaine, cucumbers, avocado, grape tomatoes and ranch.
I used this sugar free bbq sauce to dip the chicken in:
I love meat. When my mom made a meal without meat I was so disappointed. When I see that Burger King meatless hamburger commercial I cringe. I love meat.
Every year I have an abundance of deer and beef. This year I have concentrated on working with the deer. I have made jerky, meat sticks and salami from a couple of bucks my boy and I got last season. I have been using them mostly for snacks as I have been going high protein and low carb this summer and have lost just shy of 30 lbs. On the new way of eating I have started making mini pizzas using some low carb tortillas, home made (and some bought) pasta sauce and [mostly] pepperoni. So I got the bright idea of making the pepperoni from some of the deer I have on hand. Got to be better for me, right? Anyway, it came out of the smoker last night and it is very good. Here’s what I did:
Ingredients: 6 lb deer, 2 lb fresh pork ( I used wild hog ham), 7 tsp canning salt, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 3 Tbsp cayenne pepper, 3 Tbsp Paprika, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 c balsamic vinegar, 3/4 c water, 1 1/2 tsp pink salt
Grind deer and pork through a fairly fine grinding plate. Mix the remaining ingredients together to form a sort of slurry. Mix this slurry with the ground meat thoroughly. Refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 24 hours. Give a final mix, stuff in 2 1/2 to 3 in Sausage casing. Cook slowly... I started mine at 140 degrees for an hour, then upped it 10 degrees for another hour, then upped it ten more for another hour ... until I reached 190 degrees. I cooked it to an internal temp of 160 degrees. They say 150 is ok but I am especially careful when using pork, especially the wild variety. I also have this cool remote thermometer that I can set so that when the internal temp is right an alarm goes off. It woke me at 3:30 this morning. The pepperoni is drier but has less fat. Makes a good mini pizza.
The numbers for the pizza: 1 pizza is 256 calories with 6 net carbs. Not too bad.

Not at all! And you know your meat doesn't have additives, hormones, e-coli, and other gunk in it.
How has your garden harvest been so far?

Good stuff I have tried every flavor, especially like the pork one..
That one is real good as it doesn't have all the sugar burning...
Yea, none of us where sure if you were a vegan or not..
If anyone doubted they would merely need to read that description to feel the love....
Sounds awesome, you are truly a blessed man, enjoy...
I hope she is okay.

Me too, thanks. Are you guys doing all right?
Not as good as last year but it’s all good. No sauerkraut or green beans this year ... too wet early. Everything else has done well. Loads of tomatoes, okra and squash of different varieties. Should have some pecans to gather this fall.
I’ve got your peach seeds drying. I’ll send them your way sometime next week.

Awesome, thank you so much!
Our gardens have mostly done well this year, esp. squash. Last year I got a single zucchini, and no acorns or Lakotas at all. This year we're drowning in zucchinis and there are winter squash of all kinds overflowing the beds and hoop house! The fall-planted garlic didn't do much, but the onions and potatoes sure did. I started tomatoes indoors this past spring and they are weighed down with fruits. Not getting ripe yet; I suspect that they're saving that for when I go back to school next week. lol The peas and wax beans did great; got a second planting in, hope we get some before we run out of summer. It's going to be close. It was 49F when I got up this morning. That's by the lake; inland they were expected to have some frost here and there.
I used mycogrow this year; it really seems to have made a big difference! My gardening daughter tried it as well and reports great results. Have you ever tried it?

I’ve never used that. Will have to look into it especially for my smaller projects. We have several cattle ranchers and commercial chicken growers around here so I use manure to replenish my ground every few years. My brother raises rabbits and I use that when I can. Was already planning next year’s garden while I was riding with my cousin to an Academic competition yesterday. We usually partner up on a melon patch didn’t plant a single melon this year because of the rains in the spring and early summer. We’re missing having an abundance of watermelons and cantaloupes to enjoy and give away. Looking to remedy that next year but will definitely have to replenish the soil in the patch because melons really sap the nutrients from the ground. We probably gave away over 40 cantaloupes and over 30 watermelons last year besides eating our fill.

Wow. Things we can't really grow here. Sure do miss them! When we lived in the country we used to get melons, tomatoes, and other stuff from the farm up the road. They also had dairy cows. The lady farmer, Norma, said how she'd dig a huge deep hole for each tomato plant, fill it half full with cow manure, then plant the mater and mound it up with soil/manure mix. Her tomatoes were huge, like baseballs! And those cantaloupe.... man oh man. You're lucky!
