Tom had pork chops. I was out celebrating my friends' birthday.

Reflections:
I think the most notable thing this week was Tom started hunting. On his first trip he successfully got an 18lb turkey. It dressed out to 13.5lbs. While it was a bit tough, we brined it and it was still quite tasty. We stripped the carcass and boiled it down for broth with carrots and onions. We'll use that broth for soups and stew later.

  1. That is a yummy looking bird! Aren't turkeys hard to hunt? Good job! And I love how you will use every aspect of the bird. Nothing wasted. Native American philosophy at it's finest.
