    Nice 'Tex.

    Any garden pics?

    We have some of @DMW snow up here right now.  Going to start planting indoors.
    We are doing all raised/containers on the deck with a berry hutch being built for the yard. Not the prettiest setup yet  but I’ll get some pics later and post. I love having all the greenery up by my cooking area. Just feels right 
    With the raised stuff, the deer don't have to bend over so far to reach it!  I bet with it on your deck, that cuts down on some of the herbivore activity.  Do you have a fenced in backyard?

    Hopefully this year I am woodchuck free.  The woodchuck empire was shut down early last year.  I think we totaled 16 confirmed kills with another 2 or 3 possible.  
    Wow. Yeah- we have a deer proof  back yard which is a good thing. We are loaded with deer out here and out city actually traps and kills them to manage the population. On top of that, my main floor is actually the 2nd floor in the back so my deck is 20 feet up. If there is a deer on my deck, something has gone horribly wrong.

    I'm not sure I should share this on the interwebz, but we had a deer issue when we lived in IA, and caliqueen was very much vexed that they were munching on her garden stuff. 

    I figured that the order of the alpha male creature had to be established. Think like an animal and all that. So, I saved my pee in a gallon jug for a few days, then poured it out along the perimeter of the property in the middle of the night. Seemed to work, so I did it every month or so. 

    Kinda explains why my yard never looked that great :smiley:

    Broke in to the new stash of wagyu. Gave one flat iron to legume after he bought us dinner and drinks last night (we came out way ahead on that deal) but I had one left. Sliced it on the bias and put in the marinade for bulgogi later tonight. I don’t know what he feeds these cows but it sure makes them pretty.

    This didn’t suck. But this is all  I’ve been able to get locally so far. I think I’ll be bringing a cooler when I finally make that long awaited Austin roadie.

    Im not laughing at that! Looks pretty good to me. I’ve seen mor marbles wagyu but none with dark color. that looks like snake river farms time (half angus half wagyu) which I really love.

    That stuff simply does not exist here in Central Ohio. At least not that I can find. I would say something, but no words do justice.

    We are very lucky to have several right in my area. Farmers markets have 1-2 local wagyunhuys and pastures chickens and hogs. I have 4 of those markets writhing 30 minutes of my house. This guy delivers though and knows what I like. He throws me his “off” cuts too since he knows I don’t care and can fix it anyway.

    I’ve never done one of his yet. I’ll see when my neighbor does his in a few weeks. Based on everything else I’ve gotten from them Im sure they are pretty solid.

    I do need another one of those flat irons at some point, just to make sure it’s the same as before.  Next run maybe.

    Let me know if you have more skirt than you can handle.

    Wait, that sounds weird.

    PSA, they do ship their product.  I texted Brian and he stated he can ship to Wisconsin for around $50 or so...meat will be packed with dry ice and shipped 2 day.

    Nice. Highly recommended. He does ship all over the world (he’s a big operation) but I never considered they would ship to other states.  I think selling the single cuts is his side hustle but I’m happy he does. Great quality beef.
