There are endless possibilities to explore with the remains ...

http://www.pothaven.com
There is much to be said about the phrase home made. Sure some people can say they made it themselves, but it really is not home made if a store bought pie crust is used. Of course that is my personal opinion. If you make something at home I guess you could say it was home made. I should probably use the phrase, made from scratch.

Deer hunting season is over and you have venison to deal with. What do you do? Here is what my hunters do. The venison should be left to age for 10-14 days in temperature between 35-42 degrees without the hide before processing.

A Bushel a Day (Popularity: )

Cooking - Stocks (Popularity: )
A vital ingredient in many sauces, soups and other foods is a stock. And no store bought stock can compare with a stock that is a home made one. To make a stock instead of having to use tender young ingredients it is best to use meat from older animals and mature vegetables. These are then simmered slowly for a long time to extract every ounce of flavor.
Some people, those ...
