My love for jerky of all kinds has now been officially brought into a whole new realm of goodness... My husband mike started making jerky a couple of years ago when we first started processing our own deer that we hunted... I know you forest creator loving peeps are officially freaking out at this point as soon as Bambi and hunt are put in the same sentence, but my Texas cowgirl soul longs for the hunt, but that's another blog entirely...BACK to the jerky, He started experimenting with different recipes and after buying the $20 wonder from walmart we were well on our way to Jerky heaven...so for years our friends and family have pined after out beloved deer jerky, looking back on this we should have charged for it because we would probably be millionaires by now..lol... Lately my hubby has been experimenting with more than just deer jerky thanks to our $170 purchase of the ultimate pro jerky dehydrator we bought on our most recent trip to Dallas. WE bought the dehydrator at CAbela's and its perfect, it has a auto timer, digital read out, stainless steel, and pull out treys...I think this is my husbands version of "electric sex (Ralphy from the Christmas story)" Before even leaving the parking lot he asked, " maybe we can find a grocery store and fire this puppy up in the hotel" comments such as this continued throughout the weekend until finally we got back home and he could make sweet humming dehydration love to his new machine...since then He has been putting anything he can get his hands on in this beautiful jerky maker beef, deer, chicken, wild hog, watermelon btw that one was well fantastic in theory not so fantastic in reality just think texture like a watermelon rice cake ( not great)...I'm starting to however to have nightmares of my hubby putting me in that thing...The shiny positive is not the electric glow of dehydration but the wonderful jerky a junkie like me can stuff her face... yum yum..it is true I am a jerky whore...There is an upside to stuffing my face with all that delicious deer WELL ITS GOOD FOR YOU.
