This was TERRIBLE! My wife and I had the hardest time getting the moose on a skewer (which broke) so we improvised and used the drive shaft from our now disassembled farm tractor (a nice 1964 John Deere). We tried to use our pig barbecue pit... a disaster! We ended up digging a new hole in our front lawn and filling it with charcoal. (The fire department sent us a letter about that) After finally getting the moose (on the John Deere skewer) over the smoldering coals we realized we were low on fuel (for the tractor). It costs a lot of money in fuel to turn a moose skewer by tractor for 9 straight days! Which, by the way should be noted as an estimate... We calculated (too late): an 800 lb moose @ 10 minutes per pound = 8000 minutes into 60 minutes = 133.33 hours into 24 hours a day = 5.5 days. Our moose turned out very dry. Another note: gut and bleed the moose properly. We made the mistake of trying to clean out the entrails by reaching in through the anus. My wife's arms were just not long enough to reach all the way in... Needless to say I had to resort to other means. A spreader, a hoe and a small rake finally worked. BTW, we also forgot to hose the inside down and drain it before cooking. We thought it a good idea at this point to stuff the body cavity with seasonings and vegetables. We placed all of our harvested onions, celery, carrots, and potatoes inside the moose (next time we'll save some in case things do not turn out). In the end we still ate the whole moose as we had placed our winter provisions into this dish and moose season doesn't open again 'til next year. We froze the leftovers.

I used the skewer method, but the limbs were done WAAY before the carcass, so they were a loss. (The Husband is thinking of making a stool or something with them) I couldn't find any Bob's Moose Marinade (that dang store!) so I used Don-Joe's instead, which I know isn't as good, but what could I do? The beer was okay - but we had to fill in with a couple shots now and then since it was taking more like ten days. My souffle fell, and the potatoes burned to a crisp about Day Two, but of course, that has nothing to do with the moose, which was quit flaky and delicious once you got the skin peeled back. Had a nice smoky flavor too, in spit of the fact that the neighbors called the police on Day 5 and we had to haul our act indoors. Thanks!

I'm sorry, but my family just did not like this. I couldn't find moose so used a zebra instead. The recipe doesn't say to skin the animal first so I didn't. We don't like catsup so I omitted it. Also I couldn't find moose marinade so I threw in some Italian dressing instead. Can't figure out why this didn't turn out. What brand of beer was I supposed to drink? Maybe that's what made the difference.

Before you read anything about me, please know this.....I have started a home-based business and it really keeps me busy. So I had to decide what things had to go or be changed in my life. This one relates to YOU!. If you are kind enough to review (even take pictures, WOW!) of one of my recipes, please know that I thank you very much, but you might not get a response from me unless I have some spare time. So to all of you in advance, THANK YOU!
<br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~UPDATE: ( Sept. 6th 2009 ) WOW! Another year older and still kickin'. It has been a very busy year as last August I opened Wag Time, a doggie day care and lodging business. It has grown from one or two dogs a weekend to seven fulltime weekday pups; every weekend; and lots of vacation stayovers! I have not had a free day since Memorial Day....and I'm not complaining! Even had to hire a partime helper! So now with my four students and lots of dogs, I'm enjoying each and every day. But....other than not getting much of a social life with family and friends, I have much less time to spend on Zaar. Each time I get on, there is so much going on, so many new faces that I never see all of it.
<br>To all my loving friends on CC, please know that you are not forgotten, just on hold for a while.

<br>I finally made it! Not that I REALLY wanted too...but somethings you have no control over. There were times that I worked really hard to avoid it, and other times when I just threw up my hands and said a big, So What! There have been those in my life that said it really doesn't matter...and yet...Oh, what am I talking about? My 65th birthday, what else? I still think it is a mistake! I DO believe my husband was sitting around the big dinner table in the sky and he told the angels that I love to pull a good prank and to get even with me for all I pulled on him, I became 65!. I know that is what happened cause everybody KNOWS I'm only thirty! Okay...forty. (Wow, this is outdated for sure!)
<br>Been cooking since I was ten, making the evening vegetable. By twelve I pretty much took over the family kitchen and I've been cooking ever since! Love all kinds of food but probably favor Asian-style cuisine the most. I LOVE to create my own thing..from breakfasts to midnite snacks and everything in between. Have six grandchildren and WAS busy making that expected cookbook for them, but I have most of it here on Zaar now. I say most of it cause I'm not finished creating different things.
<br> Guess there is only one food item that I stay strictly away from and that is okra, otherwise I'm open to try most anything...well at least a healthy taste! Update 2007: After trying to use this food item in different recipes, I have to add blue cheese to keep the okra company.
<br>Retired from a long nursing career due to poor eyesight and now am a SAHM - YES, I AM! I have international students in my home and I'm the Big Mamma!. Get lots of original recipes through them and always try to cook foods from their homelands. Due to their different likes and dislikes, I am always tweaking recipes.
<br>For the past several yrs, I have changed my eating patterns for a more healthly life style. Each New Year resolution was bringing me closer to reaching my goal. I have now stopped my changes as I feel (and my doctor) that I am in the best control in my adult life. My weight is stable at 150 (give or take a lbs or two), and at 5ft,6inches, I'm happy. My cholestrol is about the same as my weight. My B/P still needs help with some medicine, but is maintained. Only my eyes cause any problem. So after the last few years of problems, I'm grateful that God has allowed me more time to show him that I am trying to take care of the body he gave me. It sure helped to have so many Zaarites supporting and befriending me.
