9/26/10 TASTES LIKE...BEAR!

FROST ON THE ROOFS THIS MORNING
NORTHERN EDGE RESTAURANT
A TWO-PLATE DINNER
THE CROWD


Sunday, 8:00 AM. 38 degrees, several degrees warmer than earlier. The wind is W, calm. The sky is clear and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies. The houseplants will have to come in soon. There is frost on roofs and grass.
The bear hunters’ dinner last night at the Northern Edge Restaurant was excellent in every way and free to all, courtesy of the hunters and the restaurant. The bear meat was roasted and served sliced and “au jus,” and was delicious. It doesn’t taste like beef, venison or anything else…it tastes like...bear! The side dishes were too numerous to mention but squash and wild rice were the mainstays, all home made, as were the deserts. The attendees were mainly townies and folks from the Rez, with a few wary tourists thrown into the mix that came to the restaurant for dinner and were invited to the feast.
This is the kind of event that makes small town living fun. Andy and Judy joined us for drinks and food, and our post-dinner condition can best be described as comatose.
