"Iron Skillet Apples "N" Cheese"

Very simple......
Build you a fire, heat your iron skillet up till it's frying hot. Throw a ton of butter in it. Cut up your apples, preferrably slices, throw em' in the skillet. You want to fry them on the outside but not for to long so they don't get soggy. You can even pull the skillet off the fire if ya want. Once the apples are fried, throw some grated cheese on em and melt. And in case you don't have a grader, don't worry, just use your pocket knife and widdle some cheese onto the apples!!!!

"Steak The Old Way"

First thing you gotta do is cut that back strap out of your Elk or Deer and hang it in the tree, for a day. Throw some Garlic salt on it so the Flies don't eat to much of it. Then you get a good bed of coals ready. Wrap that backstrap in some tin foil, full of butter, fresh garlic, or onions, and green chiles. wrap it up tight and throw it in the coals. 30 minutes later, you eat it. If it ain't tender, juicy, and the best meat you ever sunk you teeth into, your probably a girl. Try it. Don't try this with possum or skunk. the after taste is hell!!
