Dove season is upon us again (cue “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” theme song). I am not the best dove hunter around, at best I get a few birds every year- Adam on the other hand is the bread winner, or dove winner have you.

Venison Noodle Soup, Fried Shallot, Cabbage and Venison Broth
Continuing with day two of my meal challenge this recipe could easily be made with any noodle or omit the noodles entirely!

Like the song suggests, if I could write a letter to my seventeen year old self about this moment… Continue reading If I Could Write a Letter to Me: Quail Karaange
