The Things I’ve Leaned in our Kitchen (2011) #4: I`m All About Umami
Posted in Special Series on December 27, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The first time I heard the expression `Umami` was in 2010 – Chef David Kinch was addressing a packed house at Terroir IV (a symposium primarily for te food industry that we`ve attended for the last 2 years). It`s a Japanese word that describes the `5th` taste (in addition to sweet, bitter, sour and salty). [...]

WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 9 – Nothing But Hope
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on November 7, 2011 | 15 Comments »
Sunday was a long day. The phone stayed silent and I refused to make the call. I was waiting to hear from my Father to hear the final word on our luck for the week. I knew that the longer I didn`t hear from him, the better. A call by noon would almost positively mean [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 7 – Where I Become Scout…or Warrior
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on November 5, 2011 | 2 Comments »
9:30 Raining again – but you knew that. This morning has been confusing. We had a quick meeting last night and choose where to hunt in the morning but our plans were foiled. A neighboring camp (there are 3, the closest of which is 5 kilometers away) beat us to the spot we were intending to hunt [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 6 – Blame it on the Rain

10:30AM There was a final bit of excitement after I stopped writing last night: we pulled the memory cards out of the few motion-sensitive cameras we have and they worked! The cameras hang on trees and a small bit of food attracts animals in the area to the right spot. It’s not enough to keep [...]

7:30AM. It’s raining again. I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining but the rain is really this consistent – and this much of a hassle. I keep hoping that the weather will get off the fence that is autumn and either turn back to a touch off summer-like sun or throw us into the pit [...]
