For extra cash, we have a small herd of Texas Longhorns here in Ohio. We raise them for both show and beef. I go into withdrawal when we run out of our lean meat and have to buy the store bought meat.
I have been involved in buckskinning (camping where tents, dress and everything conforms to pre 1840)for 15 years. We bought a motorhome last year so most of my camping has been modern style lately. My wife likes the conviences. I love nothing more than to sit around the camp fire all day and cook. If you run into me at a camp grounds, both modern and oldtime, bring your plate and hunger. There is always something on the fire.

When I first came to the Zaar, every recipe was great. I have become more critical
5 Stars - Fantastic recipe. I would pay for this dish in a restaurant and tell all my friends to try it.
4 Stars - Truely a great recipe that I would proudly serve to guests as is. May tweak a slightly.
3 Stars - So so. Didn't move us either way. Maybe a good basic recipe to build on or it may be be an item that doesn't normally grace our table. That will be stated. I may make again with changes.
2 Stars - Sorry nobody liked it.
1 Star - Don't know what went wrong, but something did. Nobody ate it. No clue what to do.
