the 2010 season has begun

[Yukon]

Had it happen at lunch today in a local restaurant when someone asked me what something was on the menu.

 

A Texas dish I can't discuss in polite company. I didn't offer advice.

 

Oh come on, everyone needs to try Rocky Mountain Oysters (or do you call them Calf Fries?) at least once :D In that vein, I often suggest a scrimshaw oosik for a unique Alaskan art-piece!

Yukon! Polite company please! In Texas they are calf fries.

 

I have never run into anything similar in Alaska. Although I am willing to admit that we never wasted any part of an animal that Mother could manage one way or another to stew, boil, fry or roast.

Yukon! Polite company please! In Texas they are calf fries.

 

 

come on out and have a ball.

 

what a beautiful afternoon today in the capital city. i spent last week in boulder and it was completely eclipsed by sitting outside for two hours, reading a newspaper, and listening to npr surrounded by alaska.
