Elk Spaghetti

Found some ground elk meat in the freezer when I first arrived. It was a gift from Gordon, Gary's brother. I had been wanting to experiment with it, and when Paul showed up with some homegrown tomatoes a neighbor (that I have not yet met) sent over for me, I knew what I wanted to do. I made a spicy tomato sauce with lots of oregano and garlic, a few anchovies, and some cayenne pepper. I fried up the meat and threw it into the sauce (well, that's how my kitchen looked when I was done - like I threw the meat into the sauce). I ate that spaghetti for lunch and dinner yesterday, and am having it right now for a late breakfast. Very tasty, if I may say so myself. Unfortunately, I can't really taste the elk behind explosion of tomato and spices, but the texture is good. My guess is that it is a rather mild wild meat. I will have to do something a little simpler with the other roll still in the freezer.

I got hugs from 4 horses this morning. I am a happy camper (that needs to go get some things done).
