Stormy Weather with Bison


An Adult Bison


Well the FIRST big Pacific storm of the wineter weather season is upon us. Windy as all get out...to 55mph acording to the Travis AFB weather station data. Not so bad here in the edge of Suisun as the storm is coming in from the south andthat means we are protected somewhat by the rest of the trees and homes to our south. Nonetheless Vern's good ship "KoOlina" was tied loosely as is our habit hereabouts but this wind was energetic enough to push her sideways into the other neighbor's boat. I ran out and took in the slack on the dock lines to pull her in a bit closer and away from the neighbors and all seems well now except I am soaking wet. Ah well...they'd do it for me if Zulu was in a like situation. That's what neighbors are for...that and drinks.

I'm baking this rainy, stormy afternoon...some hamburger buns as Kelly wants a hamburger, the American fix. I might even do some double fried french fries (Belgian Fries really!) to go along with them. AND the beast is not just boring hamburger..it's BISON! Beautiful bison is available these days, quite lean so don't use it if you like your burgers well done...they will NOT be a tender, juicy morsel if they are well done. Some bacon fat mixed in (about 15%) would help the problem.
