Willow Tuesday May 12: Enjoy life, eat good food.

As mushers we work all day with our dogs, always there for them, to care, feed and look out for them. With long days of chores we always sit down and have a nice dinner every night. I love to prepare a variety of different dishes; life is too short not to enjoy all fantastic food there is. The high pressure that gave us sunshine and summer warm temperatures this weekend has left and instead we have high winds and overcast. Last night the wind blew hard, our house was almost shaking. It calmed down during the night but picked up again this morning. It starts to get real dry out in the woods so with winds like this a wild fire would be a disaster. I just pray that everyone will be cautious and not play with open fire. Wildfires in Alaska is a scary part of our life here and just before the trees grow their leafs it’s the time of year when fires can travel real fast. Back to the food. Tonight I prepared shrimp tempura and salmon wraps with Nuoc cham, a very tasty Vietnamese dipping sauce. After dinner we had a slice of refreshing honey melon. Bon Appetite!
