Been on the road for a bit and am working out of the house today when my wife sends an e-mail. The final line of the message is:[p]"See ya soon – lets have some really good food for dinner – don’t care what it is as long as it’s cooked on the egg!"[p]Really good food? Don't care what it is? On the egg? - okay, I agree with this one; but the other two seem like a bit of a trap.[p]I can picture my father saying, "you don't care what it is; then it will be Chocolate Covered Moose Turds." Can't imagine these would be good on the egg (plus tough to find this time of year). Oh the pressure.[p]Any ideas? [p][p]

    BurntRaw,
    Had the same thing happen earlier in the week. We went with pork tenderloins. Easy to prep and quick to cook.

    BurntRaw,[p]Saw a Moose turd once in Maine in the winter and I have to tell you it wasn't hard to find. It was fresh and it was steaming! Might take 4 or 5 pounds of chocolate to cover the one I saw. Impressive! Steaming Moose Turds? I'll bet someone can dream up something new using DP so we can name it SMT

    randomegger,
    Thanks for the suggestion! We had a Pork Tenderloin last week, and with just the two of us I threw the other one in the freezer - the thaw time would not have worked.[p]Thanks again.

    mad max beyond eggdome,
    Very good point and I agree 100%. Unfortunately that seems to change on a weekly basis (her favorite that is).[p]So I went with the "safe" choice - got a slab of babybacks on right now. Threw together a little macaroni salad and will put a pot of baked beans on the small.[p]I can guarantee one thing...one of us will be happy!

    darnoc,[p]Only if you go to the lodge on a Saturday night![p]My pappy was raised in the "UP" (upper peninsula of Michigan which really should be Wisconsin if you think about it!) and I was raised in northern Wisconsin.[p]I never seen a Moose up there either so I am not sure what his fascination with their turds were other then wanting to serve them for dinner.[p]Aw the memories. I think I am going to go brush my teeth...[p]

    Sundown,
    Are you sure it was Moose?[p]You know, stike lives in that corner of the world.

    BurntRaw,[p]Naw, this pile was not of a human and we saw the tracks in the snow. Stike has little feet.
