Well, I will have you know all that talk about peanut butter cookies... I broke down and made some. I am not a peanut butter cookie person, so I squished some chocolate chips into the tops before I baked them.

My family says," Thank you."

Now, those chicken livers... I am not an organ person either, but.... that sounds good.

I have a venison loin in the refrigerator now, I am trying to figure out what to do with it.
What is the meat that is wrapped in pastry and baked? I think it has herbs in it or something?

When they come up with a vaguer google, I'll be good.

Here's something a bit differrent from what we usually post on here. It's a savory item called Rumaki (Roo-mah-kee). The ingredients might sound a little odd but they combine very well.


Rumaki

1 lb. sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1/2 lb. chicken livers
1 8-oz. can sliced water chestnuts
1/4 Cup soy sauce
1 tsp. Chinese 5 Spice powder
pinch of garlic powder

Mix the soy sauce, 5 Spice powder and garlic powder in a bowl.
Cut livers into smallish-sized pieces, about the size of the tip of your thumb and add to the bowl.
Let livers marinate 30-45 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees and cover baking dish or tray with foil.
Holding a piece of bacon in your hand, place a sliced water chestnut on the end of it, then put a piece of liver on top of that. Roll the bacon around the water chestnut & liver and secure it with a toothpick. This can be kind of tricky until you get the hang of it, everything is kind of slippery! Continue making these bacon, chestnut, liver rolls until everything is used up, putting each secured roll on the lined baking tray.
Bake about 25 minutes. If you like your bacon crispy, turn the broiler on high for a few minutes to finish off.

We like making rice to go with this. It's easy, fast, and surprisingly good! This would also make a nice appetizer.

Honestly I can not do chicken livers at all, but DH loves them! Made the mistake and showed him this recipe

Would gizzards work? A tad chewier, but the soy sauce and water chestnuts and five spice, et al makes me want some.

For the venison - you are thinking of a Beef Wellington. It would be very good made with venison. I made something really similar with venison, I made a mushroom/onion/garlic stuffing and wrapped it in rolled out bread dough (all I had).

THAT"S IT!!!
who needs google?

I have garlic and mushrooms, and some of that 'pastry stuff in a box' in the freezer.
I will make it for dinner tomorrow.

oh nuts. I used up my onion for dinner. I have some green ones in the garden, do you think they will do or be too wet?
I can always run to the store.

There is no ugly homemade bread
