A Moose in my House
Recently I commented to a Facebook friend, "I just didn't have time what with the moose coming into my house and all" and the friend said, "Gee, that is quite a mental image for someone from the lower 48..." But it is kind of what happens when there's a catch of some kind of animal, because it kind of takes over everything for a while: takes up the floor, takes all the kitchen implements to put it away, and takes up all your free time while you take care of it! And it kind of looks like an alien creature when it's all in pieces, rather than part of a whole -- check out this hoof:
I was lucky that Tuluk did all the heavy lifting and it was just left to me to cut it into pieces I thought were a cookable size. We've been totally sold on moose in the crockpot -- it gets so tender it just falls to pieces. Who needs beef? :)Esther was so funny -- when she was helping me, she said with a sigh, "I love messing around with meat. Look! There are all of my favorite colors in this meat!" (I think she was talking about the pink in the meat and the silver of the fat/membrane). What fun to have a hardy Alaskan child.
The weather was so nice that Tuluk went out several times -- and after the first goal was met of enough moose for everyone in the family, he just went out to camp. I have a feeling that it's fun for all the guys running into other guys out there, visiting each others' camps. I have to say I'm jealous! I would LOVE to go out camping in good weather indefinitely, if it weren't for the drag of having to work for a living....nah, I like my job. :)
Ok, so now for the graphic shot.... Tuluk cut the tongue out of the moose for moose tongue soup, and even though it was kind of gory, it was interesting to see the moose's cud (yes, moose chew regurgitated grass just like cows) and the teeth:

...and I was feeling like a pioneer woman for cutting up a (Perdue) chicken for dinner. HA!

Mmm moose. Not that I've ever had it, but I do love venison. Must say I love it when you post. It's feat to read something different, tho not sure about moose tongue soup.

I used to cook moose meat in the crock pot w/ taco seasoning and use it for enchiladas or add BBQ sauce to it for sandwiches,or potatoes and carrots to make a "roast beef" dinner, etc. It seemed that whatever you would use beef for, you could use moose and it was so much leaner. I sure miss that!

Cate, what a delight to find your blog! Thanks for leaving a comment on mine, Tundra Medicine Dreams, so I could. You know, I think I met you on a Bethel to Anchorage to Kenai flight last year; you were headed to Nikiski to visit a dog mushing friend before going on down to the lower 48.
Lucky you to have a freezer full of moose! We have them all over the place here in Kenai, munching flowers and walking right up to the porch, but you can't shoot them! I have thought of getting a silencer for the rifle...spose the neighbors would notice?

Would give anything for the comfort of an adult rocking horse!

I have my own rocking horses! real live ones that also can unfortunately, rock a little too much for my old bones!
Comment by Rocky Mountain Woman— April 11, 2013 #
Such an intriguing post!
And yes, I DO wish they made rocking horses for grown-ups.

Yes, I would love to ride an adult-sized rocking horse. 🙂

Alas, I know all too well what questions of the heart I am living with. I saw your comment to Justine's about wanting to get back to writing in this space. I am in the same spot, but possibly for different reasons. For sure lack of time, but secondly that what I would like to write about is not appropriate! I am thinking of starting an anonymous blog….. Wouldn't that be fun?!

What a unique and clever link for the letter 'U'.
This post was really thought provoking for me.
And, oh, what wonderful images you shared here.
Thank you.

Olive Oil Sugar
August 30, 2006 by seanbrock
After seeing a picture of Albert Adria holding an oil encased in sugar, I began wondering how the hell they produced it. We brainstormed for weeks, some of our ideas for producing this was downright hilarious. We finally figured it out, or at least made it work for us. I am still not sure how they produce their oil bonbons but it was rewarding finally getting the results we were looking for. We have begun to brainstorm various other fats that would work with this technique. We were even able to add balsamic vinegar to the olive oil. Endless possibilities are ahead………

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.
- The concept that authority itself, as a concept, originates in god, is something we need to be aware of. Rebellion against authority is very possibly related to rebellion against God.
In this context, remember when God rescued the Israelites from Egypt, he did not do it by leading a rebellion, but rather he had Moses obtain Pharaoh's permission to leave.
Romans 13:9-10 (NLT)
For the commandments say, "You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet." These-and other such commandments-are summed up in this one commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.
- Paul continues his explanation of how the Sinaiatic covenent based on the ten commandments, has been superceded by the greater Law of Love.
