USA | Allegheny Mountains | Deer Season #2

Archery Season for deer is still in full swing. Now a bowhunter has brought me some steaks made from the backstrap of the deer, which many Venison Cognoscenti consider the best cut.

Venison steaks 

My.olive oil had frozen solid so I had to heat it up in a pan of 

boiling water before I could use it.

I fried the steaks in olive oil with onions, black peppercorns, and soy sauce,

Now there’s a dish to set before a king!!!

Had our first snow fall of the year.

My current domicile, or the Pine Hill Hilton, as I like to call it. 

Temperatures dropped to 16ºF. 

Butter tea was certainly welcome on these chilly mornings. I could close my eyes and imagine I was in Tibet!

My carpet collection has come in handy. I bought this handmade silk carpet in Uzbekistan, but it was probably Made in Iran or perhaps Turkmenistan. The big white oak in the photo has shed a prodigious amount of acorns. The neighborhood squirrels are happy!
