cookin the pot

So as I try to bring my sea going adventures here from that before said site I was out walking with a friend today talking about food, well talking about a story I wrote last night (in my head of course) about a time when we were out picking chanterelles. The idea was that after picking enough to give away--often it is the journey, you have heard that before...--the reward was to find a nice log to sit on and enjoy the food we had brought. This actually seems to be as important to me as the mushrooms, the hike, the companionship. I relayed a story of how the `best` sandwich in the world has occurred in my life on numerous occasions. The first that I could remember was back in 1978. An early trek into a pond hours behind the town of bonavista found me labouring in the hot august sun as we finally found a pond to cast away. As we fished I opened my pack and rifled through quickly to find what we had for lunch. I pulled out two turkey sandwiches, on simply home made bread, lathere...

I had a blog, of sorts at tumblr for a very long time. As all  I wanted to do was post my thoughts and ramblings, mixed in with pics about food, travels and life of a sea going cook. It seemed that it got a way from me and as I write no one can access it through the traditional way. I guess in my very lazy approach of just wanting to post crap for people to access when they want I messed up some how in the tumblr universe. So be it.  So after a drizzled 2 hr walk in the woods I decided to recamp and revamp  at this location and guess what! I had set this up years ago and in my wizened way, completely forgot about it. Don't get me going on that as I approach 57!  As of right now I have attempted to bring my tumblr stuff here but lack the patience in trying to do so. I think I will just bring it over in bits and pieces for anyone interested. I was just able to make  a zip file of all my stuff but of course that was easy--now I need to figure out how to get it...
