o it now damn i ve been a bad blogger this year not that i m gonna give you a new year s resolution to do more or anything shit with 7 posts it won t be hard to beat but whatever i ve got a feeling i ll pull it together someday and get back to more regularity anyway i ll be starting a new full time job come tuesday so some things are gonna change like from now on i m gonna stop putting hops in my beer and start putting roasted winter squash you see last year i had a brew at a place in portland that made me think a bit differently about pumpkin beer think golden and crisp and dry not syrupy and spiced and you are on to my thinking here this beer has stopped fermenting and is just waiting for some bottling to see what it turns into my hopes are high despite how weird it might look to some of you seeing so much delicata squash being dumped into a boiling kettle of beer guess i ll have to give a report in the new year happy happy trip around the sun my friends d posted by monkey wrangler at 11 35 pm 11 comments labels beer souffle squash friday october 07 2011 creek where the hog resides the weekend before last was time for the dads fishing trip of the year a chance for me to regain a bit of sanity while being outdoors hanging out with one of my best buddies drinking beer possibly taxing myself physically and sleeping on the ground oh and for fishing never one to catch many fish or very big ones for that matter i tend to rely on the other attributes of the trip to make for fine memories but after hearing of healthy looking fish at our destination this year i was hoping to eat something larger than the under a foot crowd that dominate my last 10 years of backcountry fishing arriving late thursday afternoon to the completely unmarked launch area we loaded the canoe and took off into the murky green waters paddling a few miles to our camp we witnessed various types of birds pelicans sat gathered or flew silently in formation ducks quacked their disapproval of us while audibly flapping away great blue herons stood waiting to see if we d cross their invisible line of threat swallows danced and dove snipping bugs on the wing geese honked i think i even saw a sandhill crane lots of birdies all seemingly healthy and robust we landed our canoe huffed our stuff a few hundred yards to camp and began a bit of on foot exploration a short three minutes walk away crystal clear waters seemed to have at least a few 15 inch trout sweet the sun dipped a bit lower we gave the cooler a thorough temp check by sampling some of the beer and heated up some grub sitting around the fire after a long day of driving and a great afternoon paddling things were right on track for a memorable time friday morning looking out toward the sea of high grass and shallow water beyond i noticed a large bird coming our way solitary pelican no wait damn this thing is big maybe a turkey vulture naw too fat and flapping flying along some 50 feet off the ground real dark though as it passed overhead and the perspective changed i saw a big white head and fat profiled body damn dude bald eagle it flew north of camp about 100 yards and took hold of a large branch in a pine looming above a pond cool wonder if he s gonna fish for the same trout we saw in the pond the night before after a light breakfast we took a short walk to start the fishing part of the trip the wild rainbow trout that inhabit the spring fed waters here were looking abundant trying our luck from the shore with n on a fly rod and me throwing my tacklebox of lures at them we managed to scare the fish rather nicely for a few hours eventually i hooked a teeny little guy and nearly landed him it was at least proof positive that something would bite we went back to camp packed some snacks and water boarded the canoe and pushed through the algal mat blocking the mouth of the creek paddling into the clear waters we began seeing fish as they were spooked by our canoe swimming everywhere it seemed a few of the larger fish had obvious wounds on their bodies one suffering from some nasty looking multiple puncture wounds and another with somewhat healed looking ones looked like one big gash on one side of the body with punctures on the other and a repeating pattern farther down the body injuries from fishing eagles or ospreys trying our luck while exploring proved that once again middle of the day fishing usually sucks but the beer is at least cold by then we took shelter from the afternoon sun resting in the glorious shade of a thick oak canopy checking out the scene again near twilight expecting more activity from the still at least visible fish we were baffled to not even get a bite the surroundings were totally amazing though and it was joy enough to just be there morning number two came time to pump some water while doing so i kept witnessing the same two torpedo fish lazily chasing much smaller fish around the edges of a pond i wondered if i should be using something light and fishy looking as a lure checking in with n he had caught a few small ones but kept seeing the bigger stuff i gave him my theory knotted up something a bit more fishy and walked around the pool beneath an outlet stream for the pond another pair of fatties circulated this little cove and my heart raced a bit i tried casting just to the edge of the stream hoping to ride the turbulent edge of water and retrieve my lure shallow and fast so it won t get hung up on the ubiquitous rocks first cast tempted a little nibble from something i hadn t seen the two nice fish for a second and thought they must be on the other side of the pool a quick cast landed right on target and just as the lure was close enough to start seeing an bright gold flash hit it my meager little 2 lb test line tightened and did a quick whining i loosened the drag settled down to letting this beast tire itself out and realized i must have hooked one of those torpedos dear god please don t shake off with much coaching i landed this beauty definitely the nicest freshwater hook up of my life i was eager to eat it n pointed out that it was at least a 4 pound fish if not 5 and that it would be lunch and possibly dinner its a big fish dude let s get a quick picture and get it back in the water it will be alright it sounded like sound advice from my fishing guru i tried to pick up the fish and dropped it into the foot high grass too heavy and slippery to hold by the tail alone i took a few handfuls of grass for traction grasped the tail with my left hand and slid my right under the belly holy crap this chunky fish had a fat roll i checked out the bacon around the bottom and handed it to n knee deep in the water awaiting hand off tenderly pushing the hog back and forth in the water for a few minutes it woke up and took off we did some more fishing mainly n i think and i believe he caught a few more fish but i was simply in a trance it took a while to hit me but damn did i just catch that fish i ve been day dreaming about wow sure is pretty here great weather abundant wildlife crystal clear water holy crap that fish was fricki n huge wow maybe i should eat something i feel like i m tripping or something did that really just happen maybe a few beers and a nice long paddle driven exploration will help ground me we walked back to camp gathered some grub and went exploring again with nothing but a calm breeze at best we headed east to explore the other two campgrounds should we ever want to come back here in the future hell yes tracing our path from a few days before we witnessed the same bird populations adding a few more species to the list loon cormorant and white egret perhaps plus positively a few turkey vultures eating lunch out of the canoe at the easternmost campground a wind suddenly kicked up and out of the west seriously we looked at the high clouds and thought back to the last weather report we d seen cooler on sunday well late saturday it is and apparently the change is going to start right now we got back in the boat and paddled hard as some mild white caps began to form in the shallow water fighting a headwind nearly the entire way we got a good unplanned workout we landed near camp finally shoulders burning a bit nothing a few cold beers can t cure refreshed and still dreaming of big fish from the morning we walked over to the clear pond and began our last evening of fishing once again not having much luck fishing the twilight times we broke down and tried a few worms a group of people materialized along the path nearby hey how s the fishing well not really anything tonight but a few nice fish this morning cool man then something tugged at my line as the party walked past i reeled in another nice fish not as long as this morning but of equal proportions 15 inches likely toward 2 pounds dude nice fish aw i can t wait for the tomorrow having swallowed the worm completely this fish was being eaten for sure i walked away from the pond and got down to gutting it and prepping it for dinner small salmon anyone can you believe the color of this thing i ve had trout that was tinged pink before but this looked like a king salmon for crying out loud i hacked it in half sprinkled it with salt and pepper loaded the pan with a few garlic cloves and some oil and started frying it up rich and fatty this sweet trout tasted like none i ve ever had toothsome bright and quite able to stand up to the garlic this little one made me wonder if the big one would have been similar likely but guess i ll have to come back sometime

adesso dude version 3 0 of my wood fired oven i finished it the previous week and gave it a test with some pizzas bottoms cooked up nice but the oven wasn t hot enough this time i ve hopefully learned a bit the fire had been roaring for a few hours and my backyard was looking just right in the late afternoon light right for some more experiments with sourdough pizza topped with yard gatherings and local charcuterie baked in a handmade brick oven hmm what was that about local charcuterie well let me tell you about something special how about local hog and sun dried gypsy peppers riverdog farms with no added nitrates all tenderly crafted by the folks at dopo adesso try a zingaro from the newest stand at the saturday berkeley farmers market come on down and check them out they had a crazy line up of salami and paté rillete and countless other derivations of porky goodness oh and get there early on their first day at the market they sold out oh yeah back to the wood fired pizza lets see two day fermented sourdough with a pesto sauce mozzarella and caramelized onions mushrooms arugula and sliced zingaro holy flargin cow i was drooling so hard in anticipation if only i could cook these without burning the shit out of myself turning them in a 700 degree oven with a tiny handled spatula and gardening gloves well see now the homebrew is for a good reason i guess the first round of pizzas cooked up in about 4 minutes i was pleased with the results and my sister and i horked down the first round of personal sized pies in about ten minutes noticing i still had homebrew left and that the oven was still hot as be jeebus i thought i should take the opportunity to learn a bit more i went back in threw together two more pies and continued testing the bounds of my little brick and cob fire chamber was i happy i continued baking pies the next few took around 5 or 6 minutes to cook and baked up more evenly they were crispy on the bottom with fluffy crust and crisped toppings i was so pleased with myself that i brought them inside and despite feeling stuffed already ate half of each washing it down with that delicious and morally supportive homebrew posted by monkey wrangler
