“So, where’s the beef ?”, he asked dryly.

“Taken care of – the cats helped. Done and gone.”

What’s the beef Dan? I thought you were going to dry fruit!

Being jerky?

Good thing you know Dan is jerking your chain :-)

Mmmm, jerky.

I prefer pemmican with mixed berries. I have even thrown in some chopped walnuts on occasion. My cousin has chokecherry plants on her property and I plan to harvest some and make chokecherry pemmican when we visit later this year. And Saskatoon berries!!! MMMMMM Enjoy your jerky. MMMMMM

I just remembered Jethro’s chosen stage name on “The Beverly Hillbillies” – Beef Jerky!

When I first heard the words, Beef Jerky, I was a little kid…and I wondered if all those cows were acting like jerks and deserved to be turned into dried meat!
