Deer Meat Pie in a Primitive Clay Oven What's with the Banjo?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

wildgame Using meat from a whitetail deer I harvested with my bow, I make deer meat pie in the primitive earthen oven that I made with clay cob. Meat pie baked with the spices that I used is a traditional Quebec French recipe that dates back hundreds of years and was common in my family as my grandmother (my dad's mother) was French and lived on the the east coast of Canada. It is called tourtiere or tortiere, named after the cooking vessel that it was baked in. Before bed in the log cabin, I open up the book that I learned how to play the banjo from when I was a kid and I start from page one, practicing cords and finger picking to see if I can get back to where I left off 30 years ago. I played banjo and guitar for about 7 years each when I was young. I played the guitar on and off over the years, but I haven't picked up the banjo in far too long to remember much of what I learned. The recipe for the tourtiere filling is as follows, although I made a lot of changes to suit my taste and availability of ingredients. 2 lbs venison, 1 cup of bread crumbs, 2 mushrooms, 1 onion, 1 bud of garlic, fresh sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, 3 cloves. Cook the meat thoroughly first and then put it in the pie crust and bake until the crust is golden

Dont stop playing! I stopped for 45 years and just bought a fender telecaster - my dream guitar. I am trying to build up callouses like I had when I was a kid. To do that, youve got to keep at it daily. It really hurts. I dont remember it hurting this much when I was 15. weird. As I got older, I guess I have less tolerance for pain.

Every time I watch a new video, you have another talent. In a previous one, I offered to
give you some guitar lessons and as it turns out, you are better than I. It was meant as
a gesture of good will. I hope you werent insulted. You continue to awe me.
If we ever meet, I would love to strum some tunes with you.

A few christmas ago, i was sick of cooking turkey so i decided to make Tourtiere instead. Being we dont normally have beef in our freezer i made it with, deer, elk and pork. It was so good, the pork just added a little more moisture to the game and made it so good. Thanks for your awesome videos and cooking ideas.

I was wondering when we'd hear the banjo. I had a little 5 string with an expert, 40 years ago. Now I am in an aged peoples' ukulele group, playing banjolele, and my old frailing ability kicked right in, Pete Seeger style. Love the cabin, the dog, the lifestyle. Greetings from the Australian bush.

Interesting. feeding venison to our Beagles was an absolute no no. But we were breading them to hunt rabbits - not deer. lol: D Plus it's illegal in Wisconsin for dogs to chase deer. :) Please keep playing your banjo! I can tell you are a great picker! Just need to get your calluses back! ;)

Shawn you always look so clean. Your clothes, your flipping fingernails, you look like you smell good too but you live with no running water. It amazes me because I know how I look and smell after a day or two camping. What's your secret?
