Liver and Onions

Note: There are NO pictures with this post. This disclaimer is for those who don’t like raw food.
Yesterday we got a moose liver. This was just an average moose
liver, in that it FILLED a Rubbermaid dishpan. Gabrielle removed the outer membrane and Mom sliced it. We could have had liver and onions for at least twenty-five people…even more if some of them didn’t want seconds like my family. We can have liver several more times, so I looked in the cook book for ideas. Liver, Sauteed Liver, Liver cooked in wine, Braised Liver, Liver Creole, Liver Loaf, Liver Luncheon and Breakfast Spread, Liver Dumplings, Liver Patties. We’ll have to think about these choices!
What a big blessing to have this liver and we are blessed by those who worked to make it possible.

Smoke

The latest “hot” news around here is the lightening-started wild fires in the Interior. I nearly took a picture yesterday to show how dark it was in mid-afternoon… Though a picture of dark isn’t really very interesting! Our boys turned on the string of “Christmas” lights that are on the deck rail at the radio station. The street lights were also on.  Bits of ash were falling from the air.  It looked like when the first snow falls before it begins to stick to everything, except that these were brown and a dirty grey color.  There seems to be a lot of Spruce needle ash. As of this writing (11:00 pm)over 79,000 acres have burned. Here is a site to check for updates on the Minto Flats Wildfire:     www.inciweb.org

Thank you for praying for safety for all of the fire safety folks, for the residents, and for the ministry and outreach that KIAM Radio can have at this time.
