Nice Cabinets

Fancy Doghouse

Spent all my smoke breaks out there. Took my logbook and penned while looking at the view. I believe in making your own conditions. I would write about what sounded good for dinner with what I had on hand. Stuff like that. I've kept logbooks from everywhere I go. Nothing like a brand new book with empty pages to fill up. Fun to look back on, too.

Chicken Spaghetti

Sounds horrible til you try it.


Edited to add recipe:

Boil spaghetti as usual

Cut up chicken breasts into bite size pieces and add to sauce below.

Open as many cans of cream of chicken, celery and mushrooms as needed to make a sauce to cover the noodles spread in bottom of a lasagne pan.

Top with grated cheese, mushrooms and black olives.

Bake an hour in a 350 degree oven.

Scoop out with big spoon. Serve with green salad and garlic bread.

Nothing like fresh out of the ocean coho salmon in October.

Ginger Duck

I made this Ginger Duck one night in Cold Bay. I marinated the duck in soy sauce and fresh grated ginger for a couple of hours. It turned out yummy. I like the Ginger Duck at our local chinese restaurant and tried to duplicate it.

Just been taking it easy at home. I have a bad cold so I'm not swimming. As soon as I feel better I can't wait to get back in the pool!

We have snow already. Winter is here.

Need Cigs

And quarters for laundry.

I'm home relaxing and unpacking. Its snowing slightly. Good day to stay put and burn a copy of my Cold Bay pictures on my laptop and upload them to my desktop. Sure feels good to be home.

Warthog Knife Sharpener

This thing has been my new best friend out here. I'm a terrible knife sharpener and this contraption works like a charm. A few swipes of the knife and I can cut anything. I am going to have to get one for myself now. WH Professional knife sharpener diamond knife sharpener ...

I've been taking lots of pictures and videos and have been messing around with Windows Movie Maker. When I get more time I will post them. In the meantime I'm still alive and working,,,thanks to the Warthog Knife Sharpener!

Some Days

Off to Cold Bay

Picture from Welcome to Cold Bay!!

Off to Cold Bay to cook at a hunting lodge for the next couple of months. This is a great opportunity for me to sock away some cash for the winter. I will blog when I can, but in the meantime, keep an eye on the Gig Harbor Scene for great pictures and daily new postings.

The Ballad of Sarah Palin

This was too funny not to post.

Hockey Mom For Vice-President

Outside the Sully after the Governor's Cup in Oct 2007. UAA Seawolves stole the cup from my UAF Nanooks. My first live hockey games.

I can't post a picture of my friend Neders, my daughter Tor and a presidential running mate without posting a picture of me with my Nanook Hockey gear.

GO NANOOKS!!!

One week countdown to Cold Ass Bay. Everything seems to be falling into place, not like Plan A, more like plan A, B & C combined with D.

Silvers running big time.

Big crane holding up the heavy gates for the welder.

For gates they look pretty nice with a nice fish design on them.
