Mike,
Rule here is, you have to try it, don't eat it if you don't like it.
Been down that road, and, where it concerns my Wife and Son, food, time away for hunting, fishing, bicycle trips across weekends, and other areas where we don't mesh 100%, I pick my battles very carefully.
Food, isn't worth it. I try to have a good stock of the things I like when they go to visit relatives in Colombia, which, is their thing, not mine. Outside of that, peace at the dinner table is a virtue, and I accommodate them, more often than not.
Today, I made pork and beans, not the vile stuff that comes in a can, but, cubes of pork shoulder, browned, and put up in the slow cooker, with onions, garlic, cilantro and black eyed peas. My wife will prepare a tomato and onion sauce that goes over it, after the pot has been on low for 6-7 hours. Crusty bread, and a pale ale will complete the very simple meal.
Everyone will be happy. At dinner, anyway.
I seldom shoot more than a brace of anything, and it isn't just because of some sort of respect for taking less than the limit allows. It is all I ever really need.
Lloyd, if wine was all I had, my taste would likely be more refined. I can drink too much beer for a 10 spot.
Accepting elk donations, for the time they are in South America this spring, by the way.
Best,
Ted
