I was born in Calif., but did not learn to cook till I moved to the Southern State of Georgia! I have since learned to cook Southern Style, with just a little Calif., in there at times. I am a Hunter and process my own so I have come up with many venison recipes!! Venison...Venison...Venison! Since I was a tom boy from the start I did not actually learn to cook till I moved to the South. So, I kinda came up with my own traditions! I have, in my opinion learned a great deal in the way of Venison. To me, this is a wonderful opportunity when given the gift of deer meat! I have created several venison recipes that I would love to share with everyone! Cooking with YEAST! I do not know why but this is something I have never been able to master. When my mom comes to visit from Calif., I have asked her to show me how to make her wonderful yeast rolls but mine never turn out. I end up packing them in her suitcase and she (without knowing) takes them back to Californis with her!
