1.) DParker - 12/08/2018
Once again the skies have opened up non-stop in this part of the state and have made getting into the woods this weekend a no-go. So, having yesterday (I only work Mon-Thur now) off and knowing that the wife would be doing the Christmas shopping thing bright at early today I decided to tackle a little culinary project I've been wanting to try for some time now: Homemade ramen. No, not that 10˘/package crap we've all survived on at one point in our broke and misspent youths...but the real, legit Japanese ramen that has become so trendy lately. But don't let that trendiness fool you. Good ramen deserves every bit of its sudden popularity here, and a properly made bowl is the soup of the samurai gods...and is priced accordingly. There are several different styles of ramen, with my personal favorite being [I]Tonkotsu[/I] (pork bone broth). It is also the most labor-intensive version, with the broth alone taking a full day of simmering pork bones along with other flavorings like onion, garlic and fresh sliced ginger. In addition to the time and effort, it stinks up the house. Given that and the fact that I would have plenty of other work to do making the [I]Chashu[/I] (rolled and marinated pork belly) and [I]Ajitsuke Tamago[/I] (marinated soft-boiled egg), rather than try to tackle that much as a 1st effort I decided to take at least one short-cut and use a packaged instant noodle+broth kit that gets surprisingly glowing reviews.
My original plan was to use my sous vide cooker for both the eggs and the pork. But after a completely unsuccessful attempt to get it to hold a steady 190°F for some reason (which became clear later) I bailed and went with old-fashioned boiling water for exactly 6 minutes and then an ice bath to halt the cooking. After that they were soaked a marinade of water, soy sauce, mirin (a sweet Japanese cooking wine), sake and sugar in the fridge overnight. I then made a similar marinade for the Chashu, but with the addition of sliced green onion, fresh ginger, garlic and leeks. I sliced a 2 lb section from the middle of a 10.75 lb pork belly slab I defrosted the day before, and set the rest aside to be cured for bacon when I was done with everything else. The 2 lb strip was tightly rolled, tied up with butcher's twine, placed into a 1-gallon zip-loc bag, covered in the marinade and then dropped into a 165°F bath for 24 hours.
The eggs actually turned out very well. Just look at that perfectly runny-yolked bastard.
The [I]Chashu[/I] was another story. It turned out that the problem I had attempting the eggs should have served as a warning that the thermometer circuitry in my Anova sous vide cooker was finally going wonky on me. But I assumed it was OK when I double-checked it using an external probe thermometer right before I went to bed around midnight. After 12 hours the water was holding at exactly the 165°F I had it set at, so I assume everything was OK. But when I got up this morning it seemed like it was too hot when I held my hand over it. Although the Anova display still said 165°F, my external thermometer revealed that it had actually climbed all the way to 211.4°F. Damned near boiling, and >11°F hotter than the Anova is supposed to allow itself to go. So it had flaked out at some point in the AM, and had been sitting at that ridiculously high temp for who knows how long. When I took the rolled belly out I found that it had turned nearly to mush in texture. It tasted great and wasn't dried out (which was what I most feared), but it was impossible to get slices to hold together.
This mishap threw me off so much that I completely forgot to re-hydrate the dried wood ear fungus that I bought just for this purpose. Oh well...next bowl. However, the pork and egg toppings, along with some sliced scallions were enough to make for a more than acceptable first effort. I think it's judging me though.

Dried wood ear fungus? ... It's definitely judging you. That's the way those fungi are.
Keep on keeping on.
You'll get it right.

It's not the falling rain itself that's a problem (though rain AND temperatures in the high 30s is somewhat less than appealing with no camo rain gear). Hell, I've fished in pouring rain and hunted in a blizzard, and not minded either. It's the cumulative effect it has on the ground where I hunt (which generally saturates quickly and drains poorly) when it's not only still raining (and is expected to continue all day), but has also been doing so for nearly 24 hours prior. Walking into the public land units I have access to is bad enough under those near-swamp-like conditions, but if I were to actually kill something larger than a rabbit then getting it out would be nigh impossible.
ETA: What the East Texas Piney Woods I hunt look like after a good day of rain, followed by a couple days of drying out:

That's quite a project there Mr. Parker. So, one day you just decided to try and make home-made ramen?

The decision to try to do it myself happened every time I got the bill at my favorite ramen joint. Actually getting off my duff and doing it happened one day when I found I could buy decent (per reviews) instant noodles and soup base from Amazon so I could ease into the endeavor. I still haven't decided to go hardcore and make the broth from scratch (and I doubt I'd ever bother trying to make my own noodles). I might have to wait for the wife to find an excuse to be out of town for a weekend so I can get away with stinking the house up by boiling pork bones all day. I learned my lesson on that front the one time I made my shrimp stock indoors.

Sounds like you need some Gore Tex and some Muck boots DP. Just reallocate some of the brown liquor budget.
You don't hunt in the rain or you don't bow hunt in the rain?
I am unconcerned what the weather is doing during gun season unless there is an ice storm which is where I draw the line. All it takes is one tree or limb falling on your head to ruin a hunt. I speak from experience. :wink
Bow season? Whole 'nother story. If moderate-to-heavy rain is expected I might try to beat the weather timing wise but if it's gonna be an all out deluge for hours on end? Forgedda bout it.

This hunt here (link below) at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge back in my old stomping grounds in Upstate NY was absolutely *ALL* in water or swampy land.
Hunters line up for the 175 permits available each hunt day on a first-come, first-served basis. In other words, it's some of the best public/federal land hunting I've ever experienced.

I've got boots that are good in the mud. What I don't have is the will to walk through muck that's often most of the way up my lower leg, especially with a > 100 lb carcass in tow.

If I had access to something that was swampy AND was way above average in terms of game opportunities then I might be inclined to invest the money and effort into doing so. But none of the public lands around here are quite that stellar in quality. Honestly, most of my hunting is engaged in for the sheer enjoyment of being in cold quiet woods with the added benefit of the possibility of putting meat in the freezer if I'm vewy, vewy quiet, as well as the bonding time with my son when he's able to tag along.

As you can see from that table, TX is terrible in terms of % of land available for public hunting. It's even worse when you consider the size of the state and how long it takes to get to the majority of the land that [I]is[/I] available. Fortunately, it's somewhat made up for by the lengths of the hunting seasons. That comes to 7 months in all if you include the dove season opener the first weekend in September, and the ability to hunt hogs with rifles on public land through March. There's one good-sized unit where hogs can be archery hunted year-round, but it's a boggy area that becomes too warm and skeeter-infested (not to mention the cottonmouths) to want to be in by about mid-spring.

No, they generally mean "Delaware...all of it". The square mileage and distances involved here was the thing that was most difficult to get the locals we chatted with in Ireland and Scotland to grasp. (Well, that and our summer time temperatures.) A friendly young woman who was a native staying at our B&B in Ireland (she was in town hosting a booth at a local multi-day festival) was giving us some tips on things to do and see. When she said of one of the destinations, "It's a wonderful sight, but it is an hour-and-a-half drive from here" we couldn't help but chuckle and tell her it takes us that long to get from our house to the other side of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex doing 70+ MPH on highways.

And that's mighty generous, Bob. He and I have talked about taking a vacation sometime and doing one of the Bourbon Trail tours in Kentucky. If we ever manage to get around to doing that it might be fun to make it an on-the-way-to-hunting-in-Virginia thing, picking up a goody or two to bring with us in the process (I mean, I'd hate to show up empty-handed.)
