Life in Southeast Alaska

Another Productive Sunday!

Our friends took us out halibut fishing yesterday - no luck.  Rod went out with them again today and I watched one of the little ones.  Jillian stayed and helped me in the kitchen.  We made strawberry peach jam, dill pickles, banana bread, and canned mexican meat sauce.  She was a good helper - she's almost 4.  The fishermen came back late with one halibut that I fileted and vacuum packed for the freezer.  I kept one portion out to have fresh.

Tomorrow I'm taking the afternoon off to make honey with Aundrea - the 10 year old.  It has been our tradition the last few years to make some while she is up for the summer.  She is supposed to leave next Saturday, so we have to get it done!  The recipe we use takes fireweed flowers, red clover and white clover - so we will be on an adventure to find our ingredients.

I would be very interested
