Right, I didn't realize I was living such a "harsh" life. Hopefully this will get me a little sympathy from some of you people.

If I make comments that might seem a little harsh to some of you, you need to take into consideration these conditions under which I live. :p

Aw Bywarren, now we know how HARSH it is for you, we will cut you some slack...hey get some rest today on the beach.

Just so we are not totally off the subject, Maruba Resort often serves the water buffalo on their menue . And, I am on my way back to the beach tomorrow. Uncle Sam likes me to come back around this time of year and send him a little correspondence. It is nice to know he misses me and likes to keep in touch.

In Texas it is Beefalo on the menu.

We do digress often, but that keeps the topic alive.

Bywarren glad you are keeping intouch with IRS, they love you.

Not to be nit picky here, but beefalo is a cross between the American bison and a cow in the attempt to add a little more flavor to the meat.

I eat the water buffalo at Maruba and eat the bison often when in South Dakota. We are close to indian reservations in South Dakota that raise them for the meat. In my opinion, both are very lean and therefore healthy. Buffalo meat in SD is about half again as much in price and has about half the flavor of a good beef steak, IMHO. The added cost and less flavor is why it has not been extremely successful for those raising it. It is still hard to beat a nice fatty beef steak for flavor.

There are just not enough of you willing to lead the "harsh" life like me, living on the beach and eating healthy. Now for you that have graced me with your presence at one of my BBQ's, we can keep a little secret about the healthy part, right?

PS: for those of you who have met Capt Jeff, he used to weigh 160lbs and did mens underware commercials before he met me and came to my BBQ.

And if anyone is reading this that raises buffalo, I should say that I have eaten declicious buffalo meat - wrapped in bacon and swiming in bearnaise sauce.

Bywarren thanks for the website on beefalo.

Friends of Friend have a herd in the Texas hill country.

Yes, that's what we have nearby us too.

They've been hiding from my camera for a few days. They have a huge grazing area and many hills and trees to hang out.
Babies are darling.

Mister 'Beefalo' is certainly the head of the herd. He will turn his face from the camera. Shy, or maybe he is wanted by the camera police

or maybe he wants to moon ya

AS SO MANY THREADS GO,
The Essene Way, North of Captain Morgans, Is indeed owned by some group claiming to be followers of the Essene way. Somewhat pervetered from the Biblical group I think. This is a thread that has combined two thoughts. Maybe my fault. We were "talking" about Rancho Luna a large jungle ranch in the Orange Walk area owned by one Mr. Leonards. This ranch has a very large population of water buffalo that ended up there by default when unable to move on to the U.S. It appears tha Mr. Leonards is a follower of some type of "cult" based on some several hundred year old "saint". The ranch is surrounded with icons of this cult. We were discussing that this is simmilar to the statuary that surrounds the "Essene Way" compound on SP just north of Captain Mortans Resort. You need to view both to get a picture.

Your right, I almost acted too hastily. "Harsh" sounded good. "Cult", who knows, might even be better. I will await further info.

PS: Do you think this "several hundred year old saint" might consider me as one of his desciples after seeing my picture? It would be nice to go in with a little seniority in case there was anything like virgins involved.

PPS: Now before any of you perverts wake up this morning and jump on this, we are not talking virgin buffalo here!
