New Adventures....


So I don't really have any photos to post up this time around because I haven't taken any... I will try to come up with something...this is a shot of some swans on the lake...
I have however been doing lots of great fun things and EATING tons of new things! Chris has been shooting all sorts of things and of course...when he shoots it...we eat it! ha. So he shot a sandhill crane the other day and we cooked it up. We rolled it with spices and bacon and then marinated it and baked it with peppers and onions all cut up...It was actually really good! All the rave around the neighborhood! Then he went camping and brought home some seagull eggs! they are big! and speckled and I didn't really want to try that one! Chris ate it scrambled and him and the boys loved it! He said it tasted like shrimp! ew...I wasn't about to snack on it...
Then he went out and shot a swan!!!! ha, he shot a swan! and yes, it is legal in Alaska to do so. He plucked it and that was funny to see! Then we decided to bake it like a turkey or a goose...well, chris went to work and told me to bake it! ha, So i did! It was ok, I thought it was a bit tough and chewy and the meat is a very dark meat...not like chicken or turkey at all...
So, now duck season is over and i guess the guys will be gearing up for caribou hunting next...
...I must say...I will never go hungry as long as Chris is around...I may not like what I am eating, but I will never starve! ...
