I am starting to think there are some connections. They easiest place to start is fishing and hunting. The obvious rugged individualist in me believes it is my moral obligation to provide grub for myself. Thing is, bbqing the meat might get old after 50 years or so!
While it is easy to kill and grill, it does not work so well when it comes to veggies, sweets, and some other stuff I have no idea how to make. If my belief that our economy and nation will some day implode, then I better get started in my “learnin” how to make my own viddles. Over the past few weeks, I have become aware of how many excellent blogs are food-based here at Word Press. So to all my gueest and new blogging friends I say hello, welcome, and hope you visit this right-winged nut Hillbilly often. Though I tend to blog less on weekends, and during my 70 plus days off every summer from work. It is hard to type with a golf club, barbell, or a beer in my hand!
Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas to you also. Biscotti? I thought that was an Italian tractor at first.LOL! So I now know the term “Foodie.” I guess expanding my horizons is going to taste pretty good. I not sure about the teaching you something, but you may start to look at some things a bit differently. I appreciate the visits and your comments. Don’t be a stranger:)
