Back straps cooked in onion soup in a crock pot, mashed potatoes, kernel corn and hot coffee with a splash of half and half... ( I don't drink alcohol but am addicted to expensive quality coffee). Nothing better in the world.

That sounds like a great meal you had there. I've no venison but I did pick up six nice big black Angus T bone steaks at the grocery store today. Maybe its time to fire the grill up again, with some grilled whole potatoes and sour cream in them...
