You're an interesting guy Merkaba!  I'll give you that.


Thanks for sharing.

Ha, my parents always taught me when you want to say "weird" say "unique" or "interesting".

Cute pictures.
Why not post up a recipe or a process or a picture story or your cooking/kitchen set up or some detail of your background and experience. Teach us.

Honestly, cute is a word that is underutilized by full grown male adults. (I'm 98% serious).
Posting a recipe is kinda like posting you favoring hunting/fishing/mushrooming/crawfishing spot. But obviously to a lesser degree. And that's IF I actually wrote the recipe down. SO a bit about me and my cooking.....

I usually only cook a meal twice. Then never do it again. If it was great I try to write down an outline so I could recreate it. Cooking for me is more of an art than a science. It's like asking Picasso how did he draw the Weeping Woman. He just did. That might sound super pompous but it's just an analogy.

Curing meat, making cheese, making wine those are more science then art. Those questions I can answer pretty easy.

My background. I'm not a professional chef. My Mom taught me how to cook, Dad taught me to hunt and fish.

There is something about doing everything from scratch. Gives one more appreciation of what it all takes to get your food to the plate. You all as hunters are more aware of this than most. That's what drives me nuts about great home cooks that I know, or even professional chefs, they never get their hands dirty. What it takes to get protein into your kitchen. But we as hunters aren't free of sin either. Too many of us make waaaayy to many pepperoni sticks out of our deer and smother our upland birds with cream of mushroom soup. Be better than cream of mushroom soup.

Not here so upset or shame anyone. Just my 2 cents.

That is a classic line. I love it!

What happened here? I really just wanted to get a conversation started about soy sauce really. "oh wow merkaba93, you make soy sauce? how does one do that". And I say well let me tell you......

Home made eel sauce on that would be perfect 

So a friend of mine told me eel sauce is just soy and added sugar and mirin. But I love eel sauce!

Yep!  simple to make.

Now another project I want to do sometime is to make some fish sauce. Might give some guys a heart attack here, but sounds fun to me. Might have a plan for some shad this year. Then add 25% by weight of salt. Then let her rip. Probably not gonna keep it at my house. I'm too smart for that. Ha.

Have a good teriyaki recipe?
