Livin' Off the Land

The little basil plant that I bought a few weeks ago at a local's farmer's market is thriving in our house. I decided to take advantage of it while I could and made some pesto sauce, following a recipe that Jess gave me. I always get a little nervous cooking a new recipe, never quite sure if I'll be able to make it turn out. I think this one was fail-proof! It was delicious, thanks Jess!





Bryan has been contributing in the kitchen as well with ingredients that are about as "organic" as they can come. Bryan went hunting with a few guys last weekend. They had some success, so Bryan was the lucky one to bring the pheasants home! Bryan cleaned and prepared the pheasants, I was relieved.

This was my first dinner of pheasant jubilee that Bryan made for me...the pheasant actually tasted just fine. I think I simply have a mental block that I need to get over, it's just a bird, right? Maybe a recipe with fresh basil and pheasant...Jess, what do you have? :)

  2. You know I am not going NEAR pheasant. So did it taste like chicken?
    Seriously they both look amazingly good - you've definitely got the touch.
