I love a rainy night....

It's been raining here off and on most of the day, but a really nice fall day.
Dale's in his deer stand condo in the front field behind the house on the first day of deer hunting here. We still have some venison from last year, but it will be nice to have some more in the freezer.
Most of it he grinds up with some beef fat (it's too lean without it) and he puts up just a few packs as deer steaks for stew or fried with gravy.
I cooked some ham hocks and pinto beans for dinner with some fried potatoes. I tried a new recipe for gluten free baked corn bread and it's a keeper! I probably will decrease the sugar in it next time, though.
After we ate, I mixed up a little chocolate butter frosting for the top and it was like a yellow layer cake!
How's your Saturday been? We're hoping to go to church tomorrow, a friend of ours is preaching.

Church will be good. Your food sounds good too. Rained here almost all day too.. A rainy day every once in awhile is fine with me. We need it

It's really been a good day. Dale got a deer this afternoon, so that was great.

@snowy22315 Yeah, they are really dangerous if you have to drive at night.

Your dinner sounds YUM-MY!!! It's in the 50s here but has stopped raining for the moment. I hope you get your venison. We'll watch the Cleveland Browns play today. No other plans. Enjoy your Sunday.

Life changes by the minute, doesn't it? I didn't feel well today, so Dale went to church by himself. I started feeling bad during the night and today have had a headache, nausea, and a sore throat. Don't think it's Covid, I hope.

@LindaOHio It's just strange. I was sick (headache, nausea, feeling bad all over), then felt okay for a day or two, then got it again. Today I feel much better, but felt so bad yesterday that I couldn't go to church with Dale.

@1creekgirl Oh no! I'm so sorry. Do you have any test kits? They give them free from the government. Keep us posted as to how you are! Get well soon.

No, I was sick, but hope to go next Sunday. Dale enjoyed hearing our friend preach, though.

Hope Dale has been able successful in his deer hunting and you can add more venison to your freezer.
Glad you found a keeper recipe for corn bread. I love corn bread but never would have thought to top it with chocolate frosting. It does sound good.
I'm really behind in getting to posts and here it is already Wednesday

It never occurred to me to use cornbread in place of cake with frosting! There was just a little too much sugar in it. If there is such a thing, lol.
