Changing goals and speed

I've had "Rocky Mountain Oysters" before and there wasn't a lot of taste to them. Meh.

I always get the offal from animals we take to slaughter. I can it with 1/2 cup COOKED rice in quart jars for the dogs. They love it!

They are kinda like eating fried snake. The only real taste is an acquired one and it's mostly whatever they are breaded and/or seasoned with.

I have fried rattlesnake before. Since I use a lot of seasoning, it was pretty good! LOL

The kids and I used to make every rattlesnake roundup in Texas..for several years straight. I've eaten 9 gondola car loads of fried rattlesnake. Taylor, Freer, Sweetwater and a couple trips to one in Oklahoma.

Hey nice reminder, the Rattlesnake festival is coming up, it's only about 10-15 miles from the house and something to do, lol.
I don't know what it is but I am a bit more picky about what parts I'll eat off a pig. I draw the line at chitterlings, feet, jowls. Chitterlings mainly because I can't stand the smell of them, and due to that, I've never tried them. I figure any food I can't get past the smell of, I probably shouldn't eat.

Sounds reasonable to me!

The fresh pig meat is amazing. DH cut a loin into medallions and seared it while I made a garlic and onion cream sauce. It was very tender with great flavor.

On an unrelated note I am in the hospital. I had a minor outpatient surgery yesterday morning and it didn’t go very well so I was admitted last night and probably get to go home tomorrow morning. I spent my first 12 hours on a no food or drink diet. By this morning I was so thirsty my mouth was sticky. I have 2 IV lines since the ER one they ran wasn’t working well.

Anyway, we are now the proud owners of a Lamancha doe. She had a sad story to her really. She was at the auction with her twin bucklings. She was down and had frothy bloat. They pulled and sold her twins who were maybe a few days to a week old and left her in a holding pen.
So I waited until the auction was over and caught up with the auctioneer and talked him into letting me take her, he said she was going to die anyway.
Her name is Velvet now (think the song black velvet lol) I treated her for bloat and an infection and while she took 4 days she has perked up and is digging into my feed bucket when I bring it to her. She was a bit sunken in from dehydration but is eating and drinking well now after a week of being touch and go. No clue where her babies ended up but I hope they’re doing ok.

Hope YOU'RE doing OK... Heal up there... Good save on the mancha doe. Hope she works out well for you.

I love the way you barely mention that you are in the hospital, while gushing over a goat! LOL LOL LOL

I hope you are ok and can go home tomorrow. The household runs smooth no matter what calamity befalls it. But let MOM go down and it falls apart pretty darn fast!

Nice goat, she owes her life to you. She not only has a life, but she has a good life with you and your family.

2/3 "like" on the post?? Just can't like that you ended up in the hospital, especially due to what should have been a minor surgery then go home.

for speedy recovery!
