Inject Breast and thys with white zin wine.
caramelize onion slices.
Wrap bird, deer and onions in foil leaving top open. Smoke for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hrs. over peach and cherry wood at 175*, Finnish cooking in oven because the snow is playing hell on the smoker.

Nothing was left, except 3 empty bottles and a few dishes in the washer.

Next weeks party is fresh halibut. Might have to buy a wine for this one. Only thing close to fitting is white zin, or a dry pomegranate, Wife cut and squeezed the 40 poms., so she wants that. Does a light-dry red go with deep ocean fish?

What method did your wife use to squeeze the poms?

 

[RedNeckWino]

Squeezed a little lighter than my junk in a vice......oh, the poms, Pick out the seeds, place in a straining bag. squeeze by hand. Then warm up whats left in the nuker-wave. Squeeze again, this does help to get more juice. Does like 4 at a time. Then put all the skins back into the bag and hung in the must.
