Grouse Guy: Thank you for that.
I just fat-fingered my response here. God...that's infuriating (F^@%ing Hell!). Just got an ugly water bill here from the pseudo-commie nitwits that run our local water district. I've purchased our water from them for going on 34-years and now they're telling me (only suggesting mind you) that I need to rip out lawn and trees so they can build more condos to sell "their" newly high-priced water to. The California influence on society here is becoming almost unbearable. As these refugees from that miserably-failed State move-in they seem to worm their way into almost every facet of local government and they bring their love of a "controlled society" with them. Inevitably, that "control" brings with it a lessening of affordable freedoms and quality of life. After 40-years here Colorado is almost unrecognisable to me now.
Apologies for the rant.
Normally, dark-meat birds here have a habit of ending-up in a Kentucky Burgoo (from Hank Shaw's Duck, Duck, Goose cookbook) and that, by-the-way is not a condemnation. That particular game stew has become a favorite here and is served year-round now.
This Sharpie, however, might just end up on my grill as an experiment. I've aged it, I will brine it, and then I will grill it (wrapped in bacon). Looking forward to trying that one.
