I’m an outdoor guy to give some context, and we eat well! this is what works for me. After you gather some salad dressings, extra seasonings, a splash of soy sauce, seasonings and mustard, do a taste test. Make sure it’s a little spicier than you like (Hmm…needs some ghost pepper? Um, no) This isContinue reading “Baste for impressive Grilling…wherever”

Adventure and Fear: The Hunt and Haunt
Confessions of an adrenaline junkie I have this….um; weakness, bent, brash drive and pure happenstance existence to dive into the unknown. At least it’s unknown to me and usually those (un)lucky enough to be along. Consider these true and unembellished snippets. A teenager and I rescued a drowning man about to hit a cascading rapids afterContinue reading “Adventure and Fear: The Hunt and Haunt”
Experimental Grilling
Yes I did. I put all that stuff on these steaks a few hours before grilling and brushed it on while grilling. Yes, it was good. Do you realize how many seasonings are in some of our dressings ment for salads? Forget the salad only idea. I know a restaurant that bastes it’s grilled chickenContinue reading “Experimental Grilling”
Biscuits and Gravy Tweaks
It’s the little details that change “good” to “great”, especially in preparing and serving food. I have some Biscuit and Gravy tips for you to try on the trail or in the kitchen.

Fishing is always good
Sometimes the catching is good as well. I am happy to represent truth in this statement. I have a natural bent for life on the water and in the woods. The more remote the better. Maybe parts of our DNA bent are like-minded you and I. Maybe not! Maybe you think my DNA is aContinue reading “Fishing is always good”

I found it two isles over being pushed by a very small elderly women with a friend pushing a similar cart. They were shopping together.

Snow day
It’s a very nice day to stay home, stay inside, lounge, drink coffee and make plans with my wife for the year. After a solid morning of much coffee and good talks I’m thinking cabin fever is highly overrated! I guess I only thought staying in a cozy cabin in Alaska for the winter wouldContinue reading “Snow day”
Wintering the Weather
I know, it’s the other way around but sometimes having moments of lysdexia can be advantaged. I took some photos from inside my sons house while visiting northern Minnesota at -50 below zero fahrenheit (wind chill as it was really only -34). My budding Picasso wannabe grandson created a perfect picture which could describe theContinue reading “Wintering the Weather”
Get Yourself Out There!
It’s winter here. Quite a ways below freezing and the winter wonderland lies just outside. I cheated a bit and took a few pictures out the window from the comfort of home between sips of strong morning coffee. Here have a look… I can still hear my mother telling us when we were little kidsContinue reading “Get Yourself Out There!”
Seen in the woods
I carry a camera. When I walk the woods, I see. See any wildlife in one of the pictures? To really see, one has to thread their vision into every crevice of sight as far as possible otherwise all that is seen is the forest. One of our deer hunting tales (true story) tells onContinue reading “Seen in the woods”
