Welcome to The Pauley Principle!

The Pauli Principle, named for Wolfgang Pauli, deals with atoms and electron-sharing that results in new, stronger bonds. Think 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen, a shared delectable (!) electron and VOILA! Water!

Similarly, when you prepare whole food to share with family and friends, especially foods you've grown, something amazing happens. Meals become tastier and healthier. Your soul, not just your stomach, becomes fulfilled. You live life more abundantly as a result. During a shared meal, the bonds that people create grow stronger and become something new: GREATER than the sum of the parts! I give you The Pauley Principle.

Maple-Glazed Grilled Quail

1 tsp. crushed red peppers
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. crushed thyme
6 quail, prepared for cooking
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil

Prepare a rub of the dry ingredients. Rub into the quail. Place rubbed quail into shallow baking pan. Whisk together the oil and maple syrup and pour over the quail. Turn to coat evenly.

Place the quail breast-side down on an oiled rack over medium heat. Watch for flare-ups. Cover and grill for about 8 minutes. Turn. Brush with the syrup/oil mixture. Finish grilling about 8 more minutes or until breast meat is at 180 degrees.

Serving side dish suggestions:  Green salad with fresh peaches and blue cheese, potato wedges.

  3. I love your comments and will be visiting your blog. I had no idea. Yes, I'll post venison. It has become my favorite meat. Anything you can do with beef, you can do with young venison! And, it's organic so we don't have to worry about what's been pumped into it. And may I call you Allie?
