I hope you all enjoy the recipe. :)
2lbs of ground deer meat
2 cans of chili beans
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can of small tomato sauce
1 can of tomato paste
1 pk of chili powder
1 onion
clove of garlic
and various spices
brown up the ground deer meat with an onion, glove of garlic, half the pack of chili powder, pinch of ground black pepper, salt, oregano in a skillet. While you have that going heat up the beans, tomatoes and other half of the chili powder in the crock set to low and cook it all day. When the meat is ready blend it into the crock and let your chili cook all day. It smells wonderful and you wont be able to tell its deer meat.
I love the deer meat because its very lean and no grease at all. :)

I have a confession to make. Even though I enjoy turkey with all the trimmings, my favorite part of the holiday meal is being able to make a turkey sandwich afterwards! I crave them late at night, and pad into the kitchen in my pajamas, pulling all the leftovers out of the fridge. And even with all the fresh ideas we've given you this weekend, this classic sandwich is still the one I return to over and over. Read Full Post

It's been a busy couple of weeks at the White House. The Obamas held their first state dinner complete with party crashers. The Commander-in-Chief pardoned his first turkey. The official White House Christmas tree arrived on Friday, and next Thursday, the Obamas are scheduled to light the National Tree on the Ellipse. And, of course, the President has surely been preparing for the announcement his future plans for the war in Afghanistan on Tuesday at West Point.
So who can blame the leader of the free world for wanting to kick back, relax, and take in some college hoops?
Michelle Obama's brother, Craig Robinson, brought his Oregon State charges to D.C. for a game against George Washington, and the Obama family decided to make a day of it. The Obamas are sitting front row -- our own Andrew Wiseman is in attendance and has a different perspective of where the First Family is seated in the half-empty arena. It's the second time that Obama has ventured out to watch a basketball game in the city -- he went to a Wizards game in March.
As far as the game goes, the President has to be pleased that his advice to the Beavers -- "be loose, have fun" -- had them leading by ten at halftime.

Word that some of the District's homeless shelters are already at capacity is a reminder -- much like this nicely framed photograph of the breadline remembrance at the FDR Memorial by dstylezs/Fotography -- that every day with a warm meal and a roof over our heads is one to be grateful for, even after the fourth Thursday in November has passed.

Kirk Mueller's been experimenting with conductive inks to make silkscreened and stenciled wallpaper. His juicy photos look promising, I can't wait to see interactive wallpaper that responds to touch. In another experiment he used a heating element and thermochromic ink to make illustrations of STD cells appear on a panel. [via Fashioning Technology]
Read this article | Comment on this articleI have seen the consequences of a health care system in need of reform – too few insured, too costly for others and too little quality for all. Unsustainable growth in the cost of health care and the continued denial of coverage to millions of Americans is evidence that our health care system has failed.
These failings are amplified in rural America, where folks pay more for health care than their urban counterparts, but are still more likely to experience chronic illness and poor health. I applaud the National Farmers Union for their recent endorsement of the U.S. Senate's health care reform bill and their prior support of the House’s bill. Their support of the legislation and thier courage in this critical debate says a great deal about the need for reform and the consequences for rural America if we do not get it.
Consider the following statistics:
Rural Americans pay 39% of their total health care costs, out of pocket – the highest percentage for all Americans. Almost one in four Americans living in towns with less than 2,500 people have no health insurance coverage. Rural Americans are more likely than their urban counterparts to postpone or forego medical care because of the cost – 9% say they delayed care and 7% skipped treatment. Approximately 80% of Rural Americans are self-employed or work for a small business – two groups greatly impacted by the rising cost of health care premiums. Rural residents are more likely to report fair to poor health status than urban residents, have a higher mortality rate and are more likely to have a chronic condition.For more information, check out this recent report detailing how health insurance reform will impact rural America.
These numbers aren’t just statistics – they tell the real story about the health and well-being of rural Americans. When high costs or lack of insurance deters someone from seeking needed health care, illnesses go undiagnosed and long term costs increase.
Soaring health care costs are also hurting rural economies and businesses. Small businesses create most new jobs in rural America, but they are at a disadvantage in our current health care system, paying up to 18% more per worker than large firms for the same health insurance policy. And over the last 16 years the number of small businesses offering health care has dropped to less than 40%. We can overcome this by creating a new insurance exchange where individuals and small businesses will have greater leverage to bargain for better prices and quality coverage.
The debate we are having is a good one and it will result in legislation more beneficial to the American people. But we cannot forget - we have been debating health care reform since Harry Truman was President and the status quo is unsustainable. We must seize the unprecedented opportunity for reform that will improve the health care security and stability that Americans value, strengthen our economy and maintain the character of our rural communities for decades to come. The time is now. Rural America can’t wait any longer.
