In my never ending search for food GoGo will eat, I defrosted a bag of bear organs my friend Nathan gave me. He shot the bear. I forget – have repressed, the details, but I do remember he ‘had’ to. It was not for sport or food. But since it was dead, he saved and used every part of it. He knows I feed my animals real food, so he packed away the liver, the heart, and a few other things I don’t recognize.
Greasy. Greasy raw, greasier cooked. First I put it all through the meat grinder, tears in my eyes. Oh awful, the sound, the splatter, the bloated dark spaghetti tendrils oozing their way out of the grid.
Gooshed onto a big pan and into the oven. How long do you cook bear organs? Who knows. I baked them at 350 for 1/2 hr. They came out perfectly done. Like a slimy greasy oozy meatloaf. I haven’t seen “Julie and Julia” yet. Is this how Julia got started?
The dogs and cats love it. Sacred beast for my sacred beasts. Puts hair on their chests.


Wow. Deluxe. I will never again feel superior for making liver brownies with my Cuisinart. Bear guts. Wow.
