We'll probably be making some stew soon. We have the stew "parts" left from our cow we got last year. We used all the good stuff already. Slow cooking can turn concrete into butter though. That time of year at least here in IL.

We make it with venison from a buck shot by my friend's bad ass Mexican woman down below our property. Now that's local grass fed meat. We got two legs from them...been butchering it ourselves. Found an attachment for our mixer that grinds meat, so we also make ground venison, running it through the grinder twice. Best burgers and meatloaf ever. Probably pull a tag for ourselves next year, although we can pretty much shoot what we want anyway on our own 40 acres.

We live in a rural area, but around a lake with 2000 homes and a gated entrance. I used to travel weekly, so I needed a Mayberry RFD type situation. We have sooooo many deer, but the darn HOA doesn't let me harvest any. Dang rules.
I'm on the Locals email feed though, and I get daily complaints of people's rural properties getting ransacked, doorbells being rung by homeless at 2 am, and tons of other crazy shit. So rural life sounds great except for.....people.

Try to imagine making this recipe by substituting the beef with bugs.

That's exactly what the psychopaths at the WEF have planned for us 'useless eaters.'

I'll bet the house that Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, etc. won't be eating insects.

Beef stew is one of those things, that as long as you set out to make it. no matter what you do you will nail it. As long as you use the classic ingredients.

When I was growing up in the mountain rural area. Trespassers were often shot with rocksalt.
Some pasture owners were notorious for it. So no jumping their fence to get to the watering hole.

No problems here...on this mountain maybe 8 homes, know everyone. Our town nearby is Mariposa, population 1900 maybe. Spread out. Smallest property up here is 40 acres, more likely 120 or large 2000 acre ranches. A small homeless population is allowed in a tent area near Health and Human Svcs. Not allowed elsewhere. Sheriff here doesn't put up with their crap. They don't have any way to get around except by walking so they walk to town along the highway maybe a quarter mile. Our immediate neighbors total maybe 12, including 2 young children, over thousands of acres.
