mama I nearly spit a whole mouth-full of lemonade all over my keyboard when I read of your hunting expedition- at the local Kroger's- HA!

I too was raised eating whatever varmits my Dad and brother come back from the woods with. Deer, rabbit, squirrel, quail, partridge, pheasant. In Alaska I ate moose, bear, caribou, musk ox, dahl sheep... Nuthin' finer than moose chili or moose spaghetti sauce!

Mama- I too once had a suicidal critter find me in a company mini-van I was driving! Hit a moose dead-on. Talk about a MESS! Driving home the passenger's side of the windsheild was filled w/ a million tiny cracks and we couldn't see out of that side of it because every crack was full of moose hair!

Janie, this year I work both T-Giving Day and the day after... my family and I celebrated the holiday w/ a ribeye steak cookout at Dad's last weekend. Although we had a pumpkin pie, we decided not to have turkey or ham since my Dad as well as my sister and her family are going to many various dinners where those things will be served and we didn't want to ruin their appetites for them... so we just opted for beef. It was purty tasty! On a quick hour lunch-break on Thanksgiving Day I will pre-order 2 turkey-dinners w/ all the trimmings and a whole pumpkin pie to deliver to Mom- 2 meals so she'll have plenty of leftovers to enjoy...

You always do SO much cooking for your family and extended family- especially at holiday time. They are so lucky to have you. I'm sure they treasure your tasty morsels, dear!

The Neely's, I agree that they are cooking some good food. But the rest is nothing but crap. I emailed FN told them the Neely's needed to get a room before each show, and how I felt about them. Never heard a word back. Think I will send them another one this morning. CF:) I like putting in my $.25 worth.

I really looked forward to this show when first announced. A guy that ran a BBQ place would interest me. Turned out to be too much "kissy face" and not enough BBQ. When it wasn't kissy face they were cooking "chick food" sorry ladies. I lost interest pretty fast.

There are actual entire websites dedicated to how much people hate that Gina Neely. I cannot stand her. If Pat did the show alone it may be ok or maybe if he did it with his brothers. Seeing her big old rump stuck out with her hands resting on her knees and him smacking her rump is an image that will haunt me. Pat is one who is whipped in that relationship.
