Wild Meat and Potatoes

I read Old Dog's article, but I couldn't make Uncle Ken's link work. I do have a little experience raising wild game, however, and I think the reason it's not commonly sold in supermarkets is that it's too expensive to raise compared to cattle, hogs, and chickens. There is a limited market for it in high end restaurants, but that's about it.

I didn't know that potatoes contained all those nutrients, I thought they were all carbs and starch. I never raised potatoes because they are so cheap in the store. I have been told, though, that they thrive in low PH soil, while most agricultural crops require soil that is close to neutral.

A pressure cooker is basically a boiling pot with a secure airtight lid. The advantage is that it takes less time to cook stuff in it because, as the name implies, it cooks under pressure. If you do a lot of home canning, you almost have to have one, otherwise it takes hours to cook most canned goods except tomatoes. Boiling in an open pot also tends to steam up the kitchen, and most home canning is done in late summer when you don't need that.

A microwave is handy for quickly warming up leftovers, but you can also use it for other types of cooking. We make breakfast in ours, but I seem to remember telling y'all about that before. My hypothetical wife also likes to cook frozen vegetables in the microwave. She cooks them right from frozen and they taste like fresh out of the garden.
