With sled fixed, gear put away, generator fixed, and fire lit, Dad and I ran down to the pond for a few buckets of water. Water is carried in garbage bags in buckets which are tied over for the run back and prevent spillage.

Supper this evening consisted of pan fried Turbot and some flavoured rice.

On the breakfast menu today were my homemade Moose/Bacon sausages with fried eggs & toast.

Lunchtime we headed back to camp and threw together a quick lunch of fried homemade fresh fish white puddings and a tin of beans.

These puddings are similar to fish cakes only better and more convenient to take in the woods. I cut them into discs and fry them up brown and crispy.

Today's supper menu was strip loin steaks seasoned with Halliday's seasoning with a side of rice.

Another dandy meal in the country!

After supper we headed across the pond to the beautiful camp of Elsie & Lloyd Spurrell. We ran into these long-time friends of Dad on the pond earlier today and dropped in for some stories and song and typical outstanding Newfoundland hospitality.

Sunday morning arrived albeit with a later start than normal after a late night across the pond. Breakfast today consisted of my homemade Jalapeño Cheddar Moose Sausages, eggs and more pan fried fresh fish white puddings in preparation for a fine day ice fishing.

On the menu tonight was my famous back woods boil-up concoction of thinly sliced moose, onion & mushroom seasoned and pan fried. This was paired with my usual, french onion white rice.

Absolutely outstanding!

Monday morning we had a quick breakfast of boiled eggs on toast, set about packing up our gear for the trip out and cleaning up camp for the next adventurers.

Cheers, MIKE
