How do we become part of a place? 
     In September 2025 we, four early twenty-somethings began a winter eating nothing but what had swum, walked or grown in Northern Southeast Alaska. This was after a whirl-wind summer garden grubbing, fish filleting, and berry picking, gathering the calories to get us through the winter. Simply living in place became our full-time, all-consuming life focus. We’ve been steeped in story and people and creatures. Been gifted with an exquisite amount of time and lessons and love. 
     Gifts this precious, are meant to be shared. These stories are a sample of the richness that’s flowed through our freezers, pantries, bodies and brains, an invitation to the meals that shape our days and, probably, the rest of our lives.
