Tastes Like Beef, Only Better

We decided to try a new kind of meat.

When we lived "Out West" you could find small herds of bison kept for consumption. They are huge, and it is not hard to imagine how a bunch of them together could stop a train.  Thankfully for the City Child in me, Wegman's has bison ready in small packages and you don't have to go deal with the entire animal.  

We did not add much when prepping the ground meat, since we really wanted to try the flavor. It cooks up quite easily.



Add your favorite cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and some bread and you are ready to eat your bison burger.  Bison has a stronger flavor than beef.  It was very good, just more like real meat.  It also had less grease, something I consider a plus in the foods I eat.  We definitely recommend you try it if you have an chance.

This evening, I present Jonathan's latest creation.  Volcano Chicken!  Chicken breasts stuffed with bacon, cheese, & spinach, with baked red potatoes on the side.  Toothpicks for stability only.  It was scrumptious.

Thwart relates to the Old English theorgh, "cross," though the verb form didn't come into usage until the 1500s.

I would have thought that word was in common usage earlier than the 1500s.
