Life Without a Camera

My camera broke about a year ago and I have missed it a bunch! Since I like to take cool pictures and put them on my blog and let you see what I am talking about, I feel like my blogging abilities have been hindered considerably. For example, I learned how to make crab apple jelly and would love to show you the final product. It is a beautiful pinky-red jelly. My sister, Amber, and I have enjoyed ringing randome doorbells and asking strangers if we could pick their crab apples. They all agreed with gratitude and excitement for our apple picking and jelly making. We are actually making some more at this very moment and it is smelling so good! I'll work on getting a picture of it:)

I Ate This Animal

If you know anything about Wyoming, which I didn't before I lived here, it is that this is HUNT'N TERRITORY! This weekend opens the fall hunting season! I work with a gal whose husband partakes of this Wyoming tradition every year and in preparation for this year's kill I was given some meat. Most of it is elk burger, but I did get some elk and deer steaks as well. Since I am not too picky about what I eat, I was excited for this free food. Elk burger was the first thing I tried. So...ya, it reeks bad, but it cooks up good and is similar to beef when seasoned. This last week I tried the deer steak. It was tender, rich, and pretty good. All in all, I prefer cow, but elk and deer are not bad. Time to get out my neon orange hat:) Just kidding, I don't own one:)
