My second month in Duncan I had a service call out to "Velma". It was my first time out there so I ended up on some back roads.
Anyway, Further up the road I saw what looked like a huge turkey. As I got closer I noticed it was a vulture, twice the size of a turkey.
If some one was having extra company for Thanksgiving dinner you could cook one of those in place of 2 turkeys.
Don't take me serious now.

LOL That would be a tough bird. And the taste, yuk! Not exactly grain fed. Free range though!

While in college, I worked in KS trapping and banding a nesting pair of bald eagles and their adolsescent chicks. We inadvertantly caught a turkey buzzard. When we approached it to take it out of the trap, it used its defense mechanism on us- puking up!

If you consider what a buzzard eats- dead rotting animals, it's puke was horrible and smelly.

STOP!!! If you are a healthy dieting, ht/wgt proportionate individual. In good moral standing, consider yourself to be sane, then DON'T READ THIS. Last warning!!!!!

then daub it up with a piece of bread. Hmmmm-MM!

Haha Redbird. I usually ignore all warnings. My DH is always keeping coffee cups of bacon grease in the fridge. Is that what he does when I'm not around?

Fried Green tomatoes

I haven't had fried green tomatoes since I was a kid. I love them. My Mother rolled them in flour and fried them in "butter?". is there other ways to fix them?

Another thing I miss is: Fried Mushrooms. Although I lived in Ca, over 30 yrs, I'm origanally from Michigan and every spring we(everyone) went mushroom hunting in the woods. Morel I believe they were called.

You are too funny! I remember as a kid my mom would fry up green onions in the skillet using lard. We would use bread to sop up the extra grease.. Polk salad is another delicacy in Oklahoma. You just have to be sure and get it at the right stage (no too mature) or it's deadly poisonous from what I understand. We would always go on polk salad hunts as a kid and my mom would make up big batches of that stuff. I wonder if there are any good polk salad recipes on the Internet.

Polk salad saute

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lb Polk salad -- fresh
1 md Onion -- diced
1 tb Baking soda
1/2 c Bacon fat
3 Eggs

Note: Polk Salad is a spinach type vegetable that
grows wild in the woods. Dissolve the baking soda into
a pot of boiling water. Add Polk salad and cook for
3« minutes. Drain and discard the water. In a FRESH
pot of boiling water, cook the Polk salad until it is
limp and looks like cooked spinach.
Heat the bacon fat in a skillet, add onions, the Polk
salad, and the eggs, and sauté until eggs are done.

When I buy steaks or pork chop I try to find the ones with fat on them. I like to eat the fat, after it's cooked of course.

Who let the men in the kitchen? It happens every time. They walk into the kitchen, dab the bread in grease and ketsup and call it food. LOL.
