Labor Day eats!!!

Well on this Labor Day holiday we had much work to do around house. The Mrs. had to spend the day working on the paper as Monday's are the day that that happens. We decided that we would cook some deer steaks that we've had in the freezer. Everyone pitched in to make it as quick and painless as possible. Bub jumped in with both feet and went after the cowboy dutch oven potatoes. Here he gives them a good cleaning.
After all potatoes are clean he begins slicing into quarter inch slices.

Then into a 14 inch oven. Potatoes, onions, garlic, cheese, butter and heavy whipping cream.


Nannie helps out by grating the cheese. She also made the seasoned butter for the corn.

Sister the younger lent a hand by tenderizing the meat.

This is the seasoned butter for the corn on the cob. Butter, fresh basil, garlic, kosher salt and pepper.
Smear it all over the corn and roll cob in foil. We grilled it on the gas grill for 15 to 20 minutes.

Sissy the elder helped by eating leftover movie popcorn, watching movies and looking pretty.

Bub's ready to put the taters to the fire.
The exciting part is watching the pot cook. Kinda like watching cars rust.

Takes about an hour. Twice as many coals on the top as the bottom.

Here the Mrs. is frying steak. She is wearing an apron my grandmother made from old flour sacks she found a few years before she past away.

Looks good don't it?
Homemade pan gravy. No mix here.
Taters are done.
The final product. Yes it was as good as it looks.
