Sure, I cook a lot in my kitchen at work, but people are always wondering if I still cook at home. I have answered before, that indeed I do, and I feel like this might be an example of what I do on my “own time” in my kitchen.
It all began with some friends of mine watching a Duke basketball game (for those of you who forget, I am indeed a Blue Devil) when one of my friends, Michelle, mentioned she was going home over Thanksgiving, and would be getting some venison from her dad. She asked me if I had any ideas what she should do with it. My response was immediate:
So majestic. So beautiful.
So delicious.
“Give it to me, and let me cook it for you!”
I love venison, but I get so few chances to work with it. It is so lean that it is actually quite hard to work with, but when it is done right, it is succulent, full of flavor and just downright heavenly. Michelle agreed, and soon she was back with some steaks and a piece of saddle meat.

Japan is a fascinating country. Steeped in tradition, yet quick to adopt new technologies and trends, Japanese culture is an interesting melange of the old and the new. That said, while they took the transistor from its western inventors and changed the world, some things I’m hearing don’t sound like progress to me. If you read my previous entry about declining Bluefin tuna stocks threatening the future of sushi dining, you would know that the tuna situation is close to dire. Not willing to give up without a fight, inventive Japanese sushi chefs have come up with a new item… get ready…Venison sushi. Yes, you heard right, Deer sushi.

I’m a foodie and always eager to try new things. I eat insects, jellyfish, and I happen to love venison (mmmmm… jerky). I love steak tartar. But I have to say that I have no interest in trying this. It&rsq
After experimenting and testing BBQ sauce recipes for a number of years, we found that this recipe is the best all-around BBQ sauce for beef, pork, and venison. With the wonderful subtle taste of juniper from the gin and the added juniper berries, this sauce is a real treat, it will tenderize an old army boot, and the toughest cuts of meat. If you have a REAL tough cut of beef - like a shoulder or arm, add the gin and vermouth at the very end when the sauce has thickened and further simmer for only 5-minutes.
