This land is Deerland — Starving off the Land
http://starvingofftheland.com/2013/06/this-land-is-deerland
Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. This land is Deerland. June 11, 2013. I’m interested in deer. There’s one deer, especially, that I’m interested in the one that’s currently out there somewhere, minding its own business, unaware that, come November, I’m going to shoot it. This is most definitely my year. But I’m also interested in deer at the macro level. Deer as wildlife, deer as shrubbery menace, deer as food source. And now, thanks to Al Cambronne’s new book,. It’s not deer IQ, of c...

Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. May 19, 2015. If you’ve got livestock, you’ve got deadstock, is how my friend Jen, at Milkweed and Teasel,. Puts it. Losing animals is a part of keeping animals. You care for them and protect them the best you can, but disease, accidents, and predators will sometimes win. I know this. I’ve told myself this every time we’ve lost an animal. But this week was awful. Then, last Thursday, I came home to a disturbing scattering of brown feathers in the drive...

And it’s just within the realm of possibility that some of you have been wondering what’s been going on here over the last three months. Well, I’m here to tell you! Winter was what was going on here, seemingly for the last several years, and there just wasn’t much to tell. Would you have liked to read about how we had to dig the truck out of a snowbank for the third time that day? I didn’t think so. Also on the g...

Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. April 23, 2015. Now that it’s spring, we all know what a young man’s fancy turns to the inadequacy of his photography skills. Oh, wait that what. Fancy turns to. There’s just no answering for young men. I just got back from a ten-day trip (I was in Kenya, but that’s another story), and I missed most of the winter-to-spring transition. Things were only beginning to thaw when I left, and were full-out thriving when I came home. So I’m giving up on the pl...

Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. Friends don’t let friends can alone. September 27, 2012. It’s canning season. You know what that means, don’t you? It means that, all across the country, people are taking perfectly good fruit, cooking all the nutrition out of it, adding unconscionable amounts of sugar, and putting it in cute little jars.

Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. My first duck. Sort of. January 8, 2012. I shot a duck. Here’s how it went down. Yesterday was the most astonishingly beautiful January day Cape Cod has ever seen. Temperatures rose into the high 50s, and there was a light breeze out of the southwest. We outfitted our oyster boat, a 17-foot Carolina Skiff, for duck hunting, by which I mean we […]. Filed Under: Best of. How not to sell oysters. December 12, 2011. Filed Under: Best of.

The varnishing point — Starving off the Land
http://starvingofftheland.com/2015/05/the-varnishing-point
Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. May 5, 2015. In spring, pretty much everyone me included is talking about spring. But can we get serious about seasons for just a minute? Because, really, there are only two, neither of which is spring. There is Not Nearly Enough, and then there is Much Too Much. Because that is how the cycle of food works. When I broached my two-season theory to Kevin, he laughed in my face. You know what season it. He asked. Umm Not Nearly Enough? While sanding is pr...

Starving off the Land. Figuring out first-hand food. Low-rent spicy seafood pasta with summer savory*. July 6, 2009. I didn’t realize how useful savory was until we planted some in our window box.

Low-rent spicy seafood pasta sauce. 2 t vegetable oil. 1 onion, chopped. 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped. 2 teaspoons cayenne, or any spicy pepper to taste. 3 Add the seafood and ...
