Tuesday I made pasta sauce using ground caribou, arguably the best meat for a tasty pasta meal.

Normally after browning the meat I would add about ¾ can of beer to the pan to pick up all the browned bits, alas there is no beer in town [except the Atsanik]. So what to do?

I substituted 1/3 cup apple juice for the beer, and it came out rather well, a slightly sweet compliment to the spices and the taste of the meat.

Served on fusilli with mushrooms and spinach with fresh grated parmigarno.

Last evening I made a chill with the left over pasta sauce by just adding several ingredients.
I call it boomerang chili dog. Not because of that, no it's because the multi-grain crescent roll looked more like a boomerang when cut in half length wise. The melted blue and Camembert cheese was a great addition.

We had some snow yesterday afternoon [most melted] and into the night [most stuck around] and morning.

We also had a rather long power outage [2 hours 20 minutes] in the morning. As mentioned prior there is something not quite copasetic over at the power plant. It has been that way since the rebuild and one new unit installed after the near fatal fire. It can be very nerve wracking not knowing when there will be an outage, worse still is not having the confidence that the whole shebang won’t go kaput at any time.
