That is hard to understand. The last time I drove through West Texas it was full of meat goats in herds. Lots of goats, but as far as I can tell nobody eats them. And I'm in East Texas. Completely different. Almost a thousand miles away. You telling me no outfit herds them goats along an old dusty trail to the eastern markets? They have these refrigerated trucks now that transport meat and other stuff between regions. |

Not too hard to raise goats, and they help with the mowing duties.

I had a small herd and had a guy who ran a Middle Eastern Market in Los Angeles, A Lebanese Christian. He would take all the goat legs I could send him if they were legal for resale. I could never find a USDA certified plant. |

Most of them were just glad to be able to buy a goat in Houston. |

I miss having closer access to decent Sushi but that's about it.

Liver and onions. Wife hates it. Sweetbreads. My grandmother made the BEST Liver & Onions. Started with an overnight soak in milk that went to the barn cats. They were always very pleased. Lol |

Never a big fan of liver as a kid...fresh liver culled from a deer...whole 'nuther story...tasty!
When I lived in California, five of us stayed at a buddy's house to go fishing up at Susanville's eagle Lake, he lived in Oroville, about a 3 hour trek.
Mike shot a deer early while we were sleeping at his house...we woke up to a 30.06 bark from his back door...
"You never had liver like this" Mike told us....we ate fresh liver and onions for breakfast with beer.
"I just want to warn you...this will really give you gas" Mike warned us...man, he was not kidding.
Liver and onion/ beer farts could probably be considered type 2 inhalation hazard on the Department of Transportation guidelines...a Suburban ride on that that trip with four guys hanging their heads out the window, we looked like a bunch of coon hounds going for a ride!...cousin Greg was in the middle of the second row...he died a few years ago, I think that experience was a precursor.
Moral of the story: Dig into the fresh venison liver, digest/rest in a well ventilated area.

Most of all I miss my own cooking...soups and sauces that takes several hours to prepare...getting too old to stand up that long.

My homemade lasagna it takes me 3 hours to simmer the sauce alone. Haven’t made in a long time. I have the recipe somewhere but I can’t find it now.

Not being able to enjoy what you once were able to do. I do some prep sitting at a table with a cutting board and pile of bowls. Cooking can be a lot of foot work. You need a kitchen Toto to run and fetch ingredients and small wares. |
