My last two backstraps...
Just went to the freezer to get a popcicle as I am limited to clear liquids for a medicalprecedure tomorrow and there, next to the popcicles were my last two backstraps. I have had to remove all red meat from my diet for over a month now and there they were, wrapped in thick cut bacon and a light coating of fajita seasoning, staring at me and softly murmuring "eat me". I can't eat til tomorrow afternoon, but those buggers went from the freezer to the fridge in preparation for dinner tomorrow. Then, after they are no longer available, I'll have to wait until bow season to restock my freezer. There's something not right about running out of venison. I still have one turkey left, but that's it until October at the earliest.
It's funny, when the kids were still in the house, the venison would last from one season to the next, but now that they're gone, the venison seems to go a lot faster.
