Upon my return from my grand adventure in europa, it was straight back to being Ms handyman around the house. This morning, we ground elk meat from the elk that my parent had hunted in October. Using a meat grinder is a skill that requires trial and error, elbow grease and some seriously frozen hands! The meat has to be pretty close to completely frozen in order to not "gunk" up the blades of the grinder. Therefore, the person wielding the cutting knife gets a really good workout. About halfway through, my dad goes "I need a chainsaw!" From there you force the frozen chunks through the grinder and voila! - ground elk for burgers, meatballs and tacos galore! Next up on the kiddy-do-list... trestle table! So stay tuned folks!

Hey, ask your parents whatever happened to our dinner invitation? We tried in December, it never worked out... and while we are very sorry that you are home, for the reasons you are home, we would love to see you, too!
