That’s what the barred owl says.
There’s one that’s been hanging around honey hill lately, hooting out practical questions and watching for prey. From the third floor, I get to share the same vantage point, an owl’s eye view you could say, and witness the patience required for this glorious creature’s food acquisition procedures.
Lucky for you, with a click of a button you can answer that call for yourself. Mice is not on the menu though, sorry to disappoint.
It’s an exam week for me so I had to practice all the restraint I could muster not to spend all day yesterday in the kitchen testing out recipes. Instead, I devoted a good chunk drawing metabolic pathways on my white board. That said, the menu is a bit simple this week but the following week we’ll be flush with bone broth again, and some other fun foods to keep your bellies entertained and nourished.
Grain-free porridge with chicken is our consolation prize—it’s a new one and offers a square, fiber/protein rich start, not just for those who abstain from the grain. I’ll be cooking that chicken low and slow on Monday with plenty to whip up some sloppy squirrel, a comfort dish with foraged flair. Dare I mention the hemlock honey? It will be gone as quickly as it came. Act fast to secure a dollop of this honey infused with green shoots of Tsuga canadensis.
