Hood Canal Cookbook
Earlier this summer when I was visiting my friends Bob and Julie at their cabin in Lilliwaup on the Hood Canal, I made a Shrimp Pie; it was a delicious creation made with freshly caught shrimp right from the waters in in front of their cabin and undoubtedly will be in the roundup for recipes for a future cookbook. I wanted to thank them in some special way for that lovely day and here’s what showed up at one of the sales I visited recently. I don’t think I could have found anything that would be more perfect than this.

I mean, have YOU ever seen a recipe for mountain lion a/k/a cougar? And kernels? Well, I had learned about those when researching a recipe for squirrel pie a while back. Those little darlings have kernels, too. The “GET THEM OUT” instructions seem to be consistent for both beasties. I haven’t tasted mountain lion and if you have, I’d love to know what you thought and how you used it.
There are other recipes in the pages that are more mainstream, like Muriel Miles’ “Pie Elegante” made with huckleberries and topped with Carol Heimbigner’s “Fresh Berry Sauce”. Both of those sound great as does Ethel Darby’s “Berry Pudding”. Plenty of room for experimentation and swapping out blackberries for huckles in the sauce, or raisins in the pudding.

How about this good looking recipe for an old-fashioned “Huckleberry Buckle”. I get a kick just saying those words…huckleberry buckle. I wonder if Frances did, too. Image may be NSFW.

I might have to hold on to this little “kukbuk” for just a little while longer so I can share a few more recipes with you, and believe you me, there are some doozies in those pages!
