We procrastinate. Not only am I impatient, I also tend to put off deadlines. Most recently we have been charged with taking four dishes for elk and trout respectively and cataloging them with recipes and photographs. Sure, a piece of cake for two idea fountains. Problem is, when you have to do something you inevitably put it off. Enough with the lead-in, here are the dishes we will be fine-tuning over the next few days, so get used to seeing them in a variety of forms.
