?????

my buddies use traps sorta like a cage

I had googled it, but was wondering if anyone here had experience with it.

Can't be that much worse than squirrel ....

We tie old pieces of chicken to a string and lower it into the water. After a little bit slowly pull up the line and hopefully net the crab hanging onto the bait.

I found squirrel pretty mild. You need to know which critters need the musk glands removed, I hear with raccoon it is a must.

I like Possum, especially the ones with the little babies in their pouch. Better than Balut.

Number 17 is up on the mountain, number 18 has shown up in less than a week. Time to bait the trap again.

wasn't there a fruit and vegetable series by Georgia O'Keefe?

After viewing some of her work in the late 60s, I started appreciating those shapes where ever I found them - some more than others

If it smells like a tomato, it's a tomato.

in my experience - far more limited than the forum's bachelor contingent , not all fruit taste exactly like they smell

At the risk of offending the purists, I tried some hydroponic San Marzanos from TJ's this week, while not perfect the flavor profile is very reminicient of my grandmother's garden 50yr. ago.

 

[BobEllis]

I'm sure they were worlds better than the standard grocery store "plum shaped tomatoes" I had to use.

 

[TheGimp]

Mmm. Crispy water.

Due to the size of the Sockeye run this year, and having Native blood in our group, we were able to secure 3 (dammit, only 3 for now) medium sized fully dressed babies for an exceptional price. So... two hours later we have fillets, gravlax and some awesome patties that make use of the trimmings including that wonderful fatty belly meat. (credit to SWMBO, I'm just the grunt). It's 8pm, my regular bedtime, but I think I'll go enjoy some of the fruits of our labours. Now where shall we start?
Cheers.

So you will have had a belly full of fish by Friday night - and that's a lotta fish- maybe we'll do some nice black bean/ tofu / quinoia burgers instead

And for desert, kale/cucumber/ginger/pineapple margaritas

No can bring this to the Island for Jesse's special BBQ. I will see if there is more to be had but we ordered 5 and got 3 and these are 10 days behind schedule. I will see if there is something else I can bring if the new ones don't work out.

I agree. Not much different than snowshoe hare (which varies considerably depending on season).

I would think true lièvre is hard to find here. The wild hare in Italy and France has an almost blackish/purple flesh. Never had a rustic civet de lièvre thickened with the blood.
