Wednesday August 12
We still had some of the lovely blackberries left, and Holt had a vision of venison. This was a meal largely furnished by and dedicated to our brother-in-law, David Kelley. A mighty Nimrod (and we mean that in only the nicest way) he gave us both the Paradigm wine but also the back strap, which somewhat to our surprise was not the whole loin but pieces. Not to worry, we just dusted them with salt and pepper, pan fried them (instead of roasting it), deglazed with a dollop of balsamic vinegar, then added a few berries to the sauce, smashed them and then added the rest whole. Served over the wonderfully easy potato galettes.
For a little side dish, we had just a few nice tomatoes and squash from the garden. Holt reduced some more balsamic vinegar in his saucier (Holt loves his saucier and the giver thereof). He then had the great idea of hotting up the squash a little by placing them in the microwave for 30 seconds. They exploded rather neatly in half, precisely as he had always intended.
