Hello all! It has been a hot minute since I have posted much here other than links to our new Youtube channel CatchncookCA. That being said, as the quote above indicates, sometime ramblin' fever overtakes my soul and I just have to go and get gone!
My best friend Alex tracking in the desert
I helped lead an amazing foraging workshop the other day at The Little River Inn near Mendocino California. We identified all kinds of wild edible, medicinal, and useful plants, seaweeds, and chowed down on some truly incredible meals prepared by chef's Marc and Jason! Video soon to come! Oh, and if you are interested we will be hosting a few others through the Little River Inn soon (Mussels? Mushrooms? You name it!).

This post is a tribute to an idea my brother had. He was looking back though out text and email exchanges and started finding all kinds of funny stories and pictures that for some reason I never put on the blog. Well, this post is a whole bunch of old images from outdoor adventures and cooking wild foods. I hope you like it!

In the meantime check out this email exchange between my brother and his wife!
"Hi Justin,
I just organized the inside of the freezer, and here's the meat and fish I found. There is one of each thing listed.
Deer brain
Deer tongue
Deer liver
Turkey carcass
Turkey confit
Turkey giblets
Mystery meat jar... Rillette?
Linguica
Lamb chop
Pork shoulder
Halibut
Black rockfish
Lingcod
Smoked salmon
Unlabeled smoked mystery fish (eel?)
All fish has been moved to garage freezer. Can we brainstorm a good way to keep track of this stuff on an ongoing basis?"
This had me laughing pretty hard since 90% of this is wild food and my freezer looks pretty much the same!
The Seadogs with a nice halibut!
Well anyways, sometimes foraging the freezer for last season's huckleberries can be a good time too!
But really all of this rambling is just a lead up to a bunch of cool old photos I just found on my old computer (which I have been randomly interlacing throughout this post).
That pismo clam chowder on the beach was awesome!
Oh yeah! The pic above was after a very successful freedive for pismo clams. No joke, Ahmed dislocated his shoulder underwater and I had to Lethal Weapon it back into place for him on the sand! He looked at me and Evian, thanked me for popping it back into place, and the said "I'm still three short of a limit! Let's get back to diving!" I couldn't believe the drive this dude had!
Fish and yam chips anyone?
Of course we love to catch, but we also LOVE to cook!
Yeah, it is a teepi!
The hops harvest is always a good time to brew up some fun!
Lings and Dungies! Man I miss you Kirby (you tropical-Island-living gin-clear freediving bastard)!
Anyways, now I am just rambling! Check out the new Youtube channel catchncookca when you get a chance and in the meantime, keep the old ways alive!
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
ReplyDeleteMy mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america.
