‘Girl Hunter’ details experience hunting, cooking wild game 
Dinner last night was delicious.
The salad was crispy and fresh, with all the right additions and your favorite dressing. There was the slightest tease of a comfort-food memory from the main dish, which was created with a mini-bite of spice nipping your tongue.
