:P

It had escaped from the farmer who lives next door to us and was wondering about outside in our garden. My mam spotted it and proceeded to feed it and now it wont leave us alone so it's just wandering around outside. We called the farmer but he isn't answering. :rolleyes: I couldn't believe how tame it was. I was sooo close to it when i took these photos and it didn't even flinch! :P

Garlic Pheasant

Type: Main Course
Credit: David Thies

Garlic Pheasant on a bed of rice with Garlic gravey.

After gutting and skinning, soak fresh bird in a large bowl with enough water to cover the bird. Add 3/4 to 1 cup Garlic salt. Let sit in refrigerator for 24 to 30 hours, covered with plastic wrap. This takes the gamey taste out and puts moisture in.

Drain the water, and rinse off the bird.

Place bird in a roasting pan.
Rub on 6 tbl garlic powder and 1 tbl celery salt onto bird.
sprinkle on ground black pepper.
1 tsp cyan pepper (optional)
2 tbl lemonpeper
Onion powder (optional) 2tsp to 2 tbl.
add about 6 cups of water (or enough to allow for 1/2 inch of standing water in pan.

Press tooth picks into four corners of the bird. place a peice of tin foil over the bird and press center of tin foil downwards toward bird. This allows the steam to condensat on the tin and flow towards the center and drip down on the bird. It self bastes.

Cook bird on 350 until meat is tender (about 2-3 hours depending on size of bird).

Prepare white rice while bird is cooking.

Drain juices form bird when done cooking and add leavening agents (flour, corn starch, etc) to make into a nice smooth gravy. add pepper and salt to taste.

Place rice on plate. place slices of pheasant on rice and top with gravy.

Happy eating.

We don't live in the countryside, but we did have a coyote walk across our back yard last week, in the middle of the day, as bold as brass. We don't see too many cats where we are. My wife was too busy making sure she knew where the kids were to take a photo :smile:
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

A pheasant is slightly less threatening than a coyote.

Funny you should post this thread on wildlife, MP. This morning, I found an opossum in my garage, sleeping in a paper bag. Repulsive little thing with nasty sharp teeth. Don't know how long he was there, but it explains why I've been finding shreds of paper strewn over my garage floor the past few weeks (I had been blaming the cats).

My first impulse was to kill the thing (my reptilian brain leaping into action once again!), but my daughter was with me, and I was pretty sure the sight of me crushing the animal's skull with a shovel would traumatize her in a way that would probably come back to haunt me a decade or so from now. So I took the animal to the woods behind our house, from whence it came, and deposited it, still sleeping, under a bush.

If I see it again, though, it's toast. :sword: Any recipes for possum pie?
It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't.

You know, I actually thought of that! But my daughter didn't want to let it out of her sight until she was sure it was safe. I don't think she got any of my genes!

No, she's going to grow up to be beautiful and cool and socially well-adjusted, like her mother.

I'll be in the basement, gluing together my models of the USS Enterprise.

MP, I shouldn't really admit THIS, but I have FIVE models of the USS Enterprise that I've constructed myself (TOS, Enterprise-A, Enterprise-B, Enterprise-D, Enterprise-E)!

But the alarm clock sounds neat-o cool!!!

We have a couple of coyotes that travel around our neighborhood, dawn and dusk.

It must be a Massachusetts thing, John.
