With Autumn upon us, I have been wanting some new recipes to try, soups, stew, that sort of thing. Maybe something using game animals, since hunting season is about to start. Enter the internet. You can find recipes for anything in the world wide web!! Here are a few that peaked my interest. The first is a main dish courtesy of Angel at cyber-kitchen.com
Elephant Stew
1 medium sized elephant
1 ton salt
1 ton pepper
200 bushells carrots
500 bushells potatoes
3000 sprigs parsley
1500 gallons brown gravy
Cut elephant into bite sized pieces(this will take 2 about months). Cut vegetables into cubes (another 2 months). Place meat in pan and cover with the brown gravy. Simmer for 4 weeks. Shovel in the salt and pepper to taste.
When the meat is tender, add the vegetables. Simmer for another 4 weeks.
Garnish with parsley.
This will serve 3800 people, but if more are expected, add 2 small rabbits. Make sure you use rabbit and not hares as most folk dislike getting a hair in their dinner.
I like this version of Elephant stew because it lists exact quantities of ingredients! But I might have to scale the recipe down a bit.
And for dessert, this chocolate moose recipe from ThatBobbieGirl at recipezaar.com really stood out!

Ingredients:
1 Moose
40 lbs Hershey chocolate
17 containers of Cool Whip
1 cherry
Send spouse to Alaska to capture a moose or have UPS deliver one. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a very large double boiler. Keep melted chocolate warm.
Tie moose up with a rope. Holding moose by the tail, carefully dip moose in melted chocolate, covering it completely in a thin layer.
Arrange moose attractively on a large platter and refrigerate for 2 days to set chocolate.
Remove rope, wash to remove chocolate if necessary, and return rope to the clothesline.
Garnish moose with Cool Whip and top with the cherry.
Serve immediately.
Or you could just chew on the rope, which may be tastier.
Maybe be doubled to serve a crowd.
Now, one reviewer of this recipe suggested that the moose is more cooperative if you give it a few drinks before you dip it.
Oh, and just so you know, these recipes have been approved by PETA... People Eating Tasty Animals!

Bet you think I haven't been doing much in my studio. Well, you are mostly right! Here's what we have at the moment.
A little gift pouch to hold something special and...
a pile of coordinating fabric destined to become a gift!
I know it's not much, but I've started working on the Elephant stew, and well, that takes a while!

Those are some great fabrics. Looking forward to seeing what you make with them. I'm afraid I'll never be the cook that you are...Ü
I LOVE stuffed elephant trunk, it can be sliced into portions and frozen for later....
The material is gorgeous...
Off to look up great on line recipes lol

You know, I've a recipe for rhino stew that's quite similar to the elephant stew, but it only feeds 3000...I'm going to have to write this one down for my bigger get togethers.
That fabric is rockin'!! I really love that circle one, but I'm a freak.
I'm so happy fall is here. We had our first hard freeze last night..and guess who forgot to bring in the plants? Yeah, that would be the same person that forgot to take the trash out yesterday morning...yeah. I don't think we have room inside our house for ferns anyway.
