T Stands for Tuesday & "Deer Camp"

Tuesdays is where we share a drink related post with friends. Hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth, you are most welcome to join us-link in my right hand column. 
    Only requirement is to share a photo of your beverage.

   Our Wisconsin friends have arrived-early afternoon Monday.  They came to bow hunt deer or turkey, and to gun hunt opening weekend coming up. and for a surprise they are going to tile the hallway for us first-and if time also the bathroom 
    NOTE: the area near the house where I take photos of deer and wildlife is totally off limits for hunting-it is their safe zone, everyone hunting will be going out deep in the woods.

   Always good eats, catching up with our friends, and enjoying our time with each other. This will most likely be our last "deer camp" where friends gather-mostly to eat great foods lol-and to hunt deer.
   We have been doing this event since 1998 when we bought our place here in the Ozarks. We have had as many as 12 or more guests-sleeping on couches, chairs and all over the floors It is now down to our 3 Wisconsin friends.

 As always everyone brings us lots of food-this year they brought more meat than usual-which I don't expect them to cover every evening, plus loads of fresh garden veggies, pre made chili-frozen, fresh made beef stew and more. 
   The one person that lives way up in northern Wisconsin near Green Bay and they have a huge garden, put up their harvest, make maple syrup and also now just got into honey bees-so they brought us a big jar of their honey and more jars of maple syrup-I feel soooo spoiled right now-I love fresh foods from the farm-so I am excited about all these goodies.  and of course the wife of one them always bakes up two cheesecakes for all of us-it started out as for Hub's birthday but now she sends down two so we will have left overs.
   I think I will be gaining back all the weight I have lost-oh well

Tonight I made up a huge corn beef dinner with boiled cabbage, potatoes, carrots. I totally forgot to take a photo of the platters of food-but here a few photos of some of the foods brought down.

Three coolers full of meats, cheeses, cheesecake, handmade sausages and more---amazing-the one on the right is already in the freezer

I decided to watch the rest of the Voice after everyone retired to bed-and I poured myself a glass of red wine-my drink share photo

   A very busy day tomorrow (Tuesday) so may be late visiting everyone-just so you know I didn't forget

Happy T Everyone
