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.
