Buck or doe?

Let's clarify the species first.
That would be helpful.
I'm not sure we want to know.
Last night's dinner: pecan-crusted pork chop, with a dollop of homemade applesauce, braised cabbage with apple cider vinegar and pink peppercorns, and French potato salad

A very nice presentation grrlscout. :clap:
You sure you weren't raised in South Georgia?
Grrlscout - you are coming to the next Jamboree aren't you?
Maybe we could stop by Arizona on the way (Arizona isn't too big a detour is it?) and kidnap her.
That's very true. A friend that I used to work wit lives in Palm Coast (about halfway between Jacksonville and Daytona). He was a lieutenant, then captain in the volunteer fire department. He has a very heavy Brooklyn accent. One day I asked him if his accent ever got him in trouble? He said that people that didn't have his accent got in trouble in Palm Coast. In the years since that comment I have had many occasions to be in Palm Coast. I have asked several dozen residents where they were originally from. Without exception - New York.
So true!
I grew up in Central Florida. It was a mix of natives and non-natives there. Then I moved down to Port St. Lucie.
EVERYONE was from New York. And every small business was named "Big Apple" this and "NYC" that. It was crazy!
My mom said that it was because the whole city was a development planned by General Development. They sold the hell out of the properties up in the New York in the 80s.
For the record, I'm Florida-born -- though only first generation. My family all hail from WV.
Wiki says Palm Coast was developed by a guy from New York:

Well there you go. Sometimes I feel like Jacksonville was settled by Uncle Joe Carson before he moved to Hooterville.
Last night I made my version of tandoori chicken. It's kind of a standard at our house.
I slice the chicken breasts horizontally, and marinate them all day in plain yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori seasoning, olive oil, and sambal oelek. Then, without wiping off the marinade, chuck them on a hot grill, for about 4 minutes on each side.

On the side some kabocha squash with soy sauce and sorghum molassas, and homegrown swiss chard and amaranth greens, sauteed in homemade chicken broth abd apple cider vinegar.
Boy, that's brilliant GS! LOVE it!!!
I'm gonna make it with shrimp now that you told me how.
Cool! You'll probably only need to marinate those shrimp for an hour at the most.
With the enzymes in the yogurt and the acid in the lemon juice, you might end up with ceviche!
London Broil was on sale for 1.99 a pound,, so on the BBQ,,, this is only half of it, I had to cut it up because I am low on Propane ,, I marinated it for 2 hrs in a store bought marinade,,, (I hope its not tough :)) It sure smells good !!!

Looks good, JC! How'd it turn out?
Y'all inspired me. I put some beans in the crock this morning. They're in there somewhere:

I also made another batch of mesquite chocolate chip cookies. ;)

Is there are reason you torture me like this?!
Anything with jalapenos works for me.
And those cookies...just not fair. Did you HAVE to do a close-up?
I thought I was strong enough to look...
It's a slippery slope, Nell. I've landed on my a$$ too many times to count and I'm in a self-imposed rehab.
That doesn't count the drooling on keyboards.
They are the Hungarian hot wax peppers that I harvested when I cut the plant down for the winter. They aren't all that hot. I ended up adding some cayenne pepper and some of that hot sauce I made.
Sorry about the cookies!
Well, no, I'm not ;)
OK... a liitle bit :(
Oh yeah, no. There's butter in them -- 8 oz. of it.
Here's the recipe, if you wanna fiddle with it:

The pecans and brown sugar were my mods. Rather than 2c white sugar, I used 50/50 white and brown.
