Snowy Cabin Dispatches: November 2010
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Once consequence of wind-littered snow- not the best for melting. It's howling here at the cabin- a cruel reentry into Alaska and winter. We got back from vacation Friday, but spent a few days in the big city. We visited friends, and went on a massive Costco run, which included- among many many other things- my insistence that we buy three kinds of butter. Hey, it's almost Christmas, right?

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: March 2011
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Heading up the Tsaina River. Last Sunday was the first day of spring. To cap off our weekend of x-country skiing, we made our way up the Tsaina River, about 15 miles away. It was a stunning day, one that required multiple applications of spf-50 sunblock. Tory takes the lead toward the unknown. We started going uphill pretty quickly. It wasn't so steep that we had trouble going up on our x-country skis, but we gained a couple hundred feet of elevation over a half mile or so. We wen...

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: January 2011
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. Home again and hungry. My sweetheart is an excellent cook. He is also a little more experimental than I am. I stick to fairly concrete flavor palates, whereas he'll mix and play around. Sesame oil and oregano? Sometimes, this leads to. some less than successful dishes. But over the years, the experimentation has lead to some winners. They're fabulous year round, but are especially good in the winter when you're trying to get through a freezer full of frozen fish. Now's a good ...

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: October 2010
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. My favorite kind of visitor. Our neighbor's dog, Tusk, likes to visit on his morning rounds around the neighborhood. Tusk checking out the wood pile. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Once it starts getting light, I sit on the couch with my coffee and dream about Stone Mountain. It is so beautiful, and looms about our valley like a watch guard. It pulls my head into the clouds, and it's my favorite time of day. Friday, October 29, 2010. Mountain halibut for mountain man. The other nig...

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: About that snow...
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011/03/about-that-snow.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. The title of this blog has the word "snowy" in it because Valdez is known for having pretty epic winters, and 7-8 feet of snow isn't unheard of in this neck of the woods. In a week. Friday we skied up Brown's Creek, a 10 mile round trip, and unfortunately the camera wasn't working. But yesterday we had a sweet little ski up Wortmann's Creek, right behind our cabin. It's a lovely ski, mostly flat, and it takes up through a canyon to Wortmann's Glacier. After the 10-miler the day be...

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: February 2011
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 5, 2011. I love this time of year. The days are markedly longer, and with a gain of 5 minutes of daylight every day, that's basically over an hour of extra daylight every 12 days. It's a magical time, when Alaskans emerge from hibernation; stretching their legs, blinking their sun-deprived eyes, and getting outside. With a significant storm behind us, each morning there are calls from friends who want ski partners. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Clean Plate Rangers of the North.

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: Frittata madness
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011/03/frittata-madness.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Apparently, I've totally forgotten how to cook for one. Tory was gone for almost a month, and I ate a lot of quesadillas. With barbecue sauce. Don't judge. When I finally broke down and, you know,. Something, I settled on frittatas. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! 1 onion, sliced into half moons. 1 tbs olive oil. 2 handfuls of spinach (I used baby, but regular is fine). 3 medium red potatoes, sliced fairly thin. 1/2 c pepper jack, shredded. 1 cast iron skillet.

Snowy Cabin Dispatches: Sometimes absence means presence
http://snowycabindispatches.blogspot.com/2011/03/sometimes-absence-means-presence.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. Sometimes absence means presence. A sunny ski up the Lowe. Them Not necessarily blog about them. Finally, I have a moment to catch up, catch my breath and write. I'm going to try and post more often, so stay tunes! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). One afternoon, I woke up and realized I should to move to a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. So I did.
