the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker

Rub-a-dub-dub, two people in the.....kitchen butchering deer! When I think of that old nursery rhyme, I feel the sorriest for the butcher! At least the baker could breathe in the aroma of a decadent chocolate cake, and the candlestick maker could experiment with lavender or vanilla scents....while the poor butcher could only smell meat and blood! Ugh! But, Daniel and I both enjoy venison, and preparing the meat for the freezer is all part of it! It took us several hours, as we had two deer to put up. With the rain pouring down, it felt satisfying to be reaping the benefits of "living off the land" while staying dry!
