We woke up to a Grey, drizzling rainy day. Chinook winds have warmed us right up..melting precious snow for "machining" and " boarding". So warm, in fact, that Alyeska had to close for Thanksgiving, after an above avg. opening for snow and people! Our snow is gone, replaced with icy roads and mudd. But hey, 40 degree temps....life's not all bad.
We did the usual shopping thing, then made a killer fresh fruit salad and cream cheese pie. We joined a couple of other families for the Thanksgiving festivities and food, then came home toooooo..........yep, CARIBOU MEAT!! Good times. Should have been here Mar and Jen!! You have "experience"! We have like 180 lbs. of boned meat to take care of. Thought it would keep in our Alaskan Refrigerator, but this warm-up thing has messed that up! So we were in the middle of makin burger when the power goes out. Ahh, you say, what now? Well, being the resourceful Alaskans that we are, Rod went to the storage shed, pulled out his newly acquired generator, and walla, not only did we have power for a light and the kitchen aide meat grinder, but we got CSI as well!! Doesn't get better than that.
Hope you all had a Thankful Thanksgiving!
