well chit........... I appreciate the help on the recipes. They will still be used to cook the birds with, just wont be on Christmas for dinner

My sister threw a fit that she and her family did not like pheasant and didnt want that on the menu for dinner. Funny how the whole family knows they dont like it....... especially since not a one of them has ever tasted it

oh well. Tried to do something nice for a change and it kinda bit me in the arse. On the good side of all of this, it just means more pheasant for me and the family to eat here. carry on.
