The Thrill of the Experiment

I'm getting ready to head into the kitchen and start experimenting. I was watching an old episode of "After Hours" the other day, and the chef prepared a nut and bacon encrusted venison saddle. It looked amazing. And it looked like something I could simulate.

So, Rick just so happened to get a deer and preserve the saddle for me (the backstrap area with bone in). I've got a selection of raw pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, and sunflower seeds for the nut crust, some excellent bacon, and plenty of oil. We'll see how it goes.

I love experimenting like this. Sometimes I think I should go to cooking school and do this professionally!

Hi! I like this blog, I think I can get lots of help with venison recipes. I also am a hunting widow, and I never know what to do with the venison my husband brings home.

I've started my own blog on how Florida hunting widows can cope and adapt, as I did.
It's http://floridafishandhuntwidow.blogspot.com/. Please take a look at it.
