I think I made the mistake of thinking the bears were well fed in July and August, hence I put up a suet feeder which had a huge midnight visitor...Yikes!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1170210766020446092007-01-30T20:32:00.000-06:002007-01-30T20:32:00.000-06:00Shows you what I know about bears - they're sleepi...Shows you what I know about bears - they're sleeping now - duh!

Bacon seems to make everything better. :) <BR/><BR/>pablo- Last I checked, mine was a bit high, BUT that was due to the HDL's (good cholesterol) being high off the charts. So I figure an occasional meal of liver, if I can stand it, won't change much.<BR/><BR/>lynne- I've heard that; vitamins A and D, iron, and all other kinds of good stuff. <BR/><BR/>FC- The chickadees will stand for none of that kind of talk! And, I'll give the liver a fair chance...just like I did rutabaga, which I am not planting again this year. <BR/><BR/>LauraH- Yes, the suet will have to come down in early April; nothing like waking up at 5 AM to the sound of a feeder being torn apart by a giant hungry black bear, just ten feet from the window!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1170123315936630912007-01-29T20:15:00.000-06:002007-01-29T20:15:00.000-06:00I like FC's comment!Are there bears by you Deb?

I have kept it for up to a week this way; for every day in the water, the flavour gets milder.<BR/><BR/>Drain it, salt it, and bake it in a covered dish with plenty of sliced onions and maybe a bit of bacon, if you have it, until the onions are done.
