Default A deer ran into my S :(

Sure did... goin 65mph, deer happened to T-Bone me. Just my luck I was in his direct path of fury... - I honestly cried when I got out and looked at it in the garage... that is of course after I searched for the deer and my side mirror along the street, swearing my mouth off.

Pics here www.xanga.com/driv300mph -- errr... There is a dent in the A-Pillar too, not sure if they can get that out... isn't it like re-inforced steel?

Oh ya, I really do consider myself lucky... I can't belive it didn't break the window or windshield... or even worse, it could've gone right in front of me and rolled all over the car.

That really sucks, but on a lighter note, you could try this....

(8-ounce) venison steaks
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Tangerine and Roasted Jalapeno Sauce, recipe follows
Sweet Onion and Sage Gratin, recipe follows

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Season venison on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add venison and saute until golden brown. Turn over, place pan in oven, and continue cooking for about 4 to 5 minutes for medium doneness. Drizzle the venison steaks with the Tangerine and Roasted Jalapeno Sauce. Serve with Sweet Onion and Sage Gratin.

Tangerine and Roasted Jalapeno Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, finely diced
3 jalapenos, roasted, peeled, and chopped
1 cup red wine
6 cups home-made chicken stock
1 cup thawed tangerine juice concentrate
1/4 cup light brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and jalapenos and cook until onions are soft. Add wine and cook until reduced completely. Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced to 2 cups. Whisk in the tangerine concentrate and brown sugar and cook to a sauce onsistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

sounds like a good recipie!

Unfortunately most of the Venison meat I have dined on has a hint of gamey taste to it.

You don't need a saucepan, you can cook the fresh kill right on the heat shield.
