Roller coaster weather man. Gone from -29c on Saturday to -6 yesterday to -3 this morning. Strong N winds up to 70+ with blowing snow.

Caribou are about in several directions, mainly outside, east to south east.

The mv Ummiak has made it iffy to the south east, it came into Edwards Cove yesterday for another million $ or so of oxide to be shipped out.
In this weather it would be a bit risky looking for the ice bridges to cross the cut in the ice.

So we had a couple legs of caribou given us. Cut them up and wrapped away in freezer, except this lot.

Rendered down some pork fat, sautéed the meat added some onions, garlic, simmered for couple hours, thicken and added some mushrooms. Only way to eat fresh deer meat is cooked in pork fat. Everything in moderation eh? Even the home brewed bitter to wash it down.

Don’t think Denny’s or Mamas Fish House serve up red meat as delicious as this?

Thanks for your kindness dogbait. The tube we brought during our trip to Cairns in 2001 has dried out, so your offer is timely.
