I know mine was listed as a clean kill but she was going to eat me I was between her an her cub .. My Belgian Maline 45 lbs was with me trying to save me my shot was just 15 feet from me Maline got swipe to her side I had to suture

So sorry to hear that. Here in my state, it’s illegal to take a mother with cubs. I understand it was self defense though. Must’ve been a rough experience.

These were some tasty breadsticks! The recipe is supposed to be an Olive Garden copycat, I can't say as I haven't been there for a long time. The recipe makes 12, this is what's left after dinner last night (DH ate 4 of them ).



Breadsticks:
1 Cup and 2 Tablespoons warm water
1 1/4 teaspoon yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons oil (I used olive oil, there wasn't a particular oil specified)
3 to 3 1/2 Cups AP flour

Topping:
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

* In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Add the salt, oil, and 2 Cup of the flour and mix until combined. Add additional flour 1/4 Cup at a time, mixing thoroughly, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft and just tacky to the touch (takes about 7 minutes).
* Knead the dough until smooth on a lightly floured work surface, just enough to make manageable. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
* Punch down dough gently, and divide into 12 equal sized balls. Roll each ball into a 9" rope and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone liner. Don't crowd the dough ropes, divide between 2 baking sheets. Cover and let rise another 1 hour.
* During the last 10 minutes of rise time, preheat the oven to 425*. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter mixed with the garlic salt. Serve warm.

I noticed your reactions on my bear photo were negative. If I offended you two in any way, I sincerely apologize.

I just feel sorry for the bear that's all. I understand why game hunting is important. But still can't help having some sad feelings for the animal that looses its life. At least you are using the meat from the bear, not like trophy hunting.
