Surprise! Yes I have eaten & watched when prepared & cooked.After it is soaked, You fillet strips of meat and pound the heck out of each strip.You do this to soften the meat and make enough to go around. Salt & pepper.Then you add the dressing.Use toothpicks through each roll. Put in a dutch oven with lard or vegetable oil,uncover.Sprinkle with paprika to brown evenly at 375* brown each meat roll.Now cover.Add 1 quart meat stock ie beef broth.Then turn heat down to 325* and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Make a gravy with the broth and serve baking powder biscuits. It was very good.This same recipe can be applied to squirril, rabbit, sage hen. Except you don't soak in salt water.

I am no longer single. I found me an amazing man and we married, it has been almost 3 years now. My little girl is 13 now and she is amazing. I went to school and got my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and I work for the State as a Parole Officer now. I have realized that I hate cooking. I really do hate it. Luckily I married a man who loves to cook. He hates to bake, and I actually do like to bake. So I am what one would consider a somewhat mediocre baker. I still think about my Zaar Angel all the time. She knows who she is.
I do enjoy to crochet, I do that a lot here lately. I use to do counted cross stitch, yet I don't do that anymore. I can't watch TV as well as I can while I crochet.
