Winter, what winter?

The sky's the limit!

Today's Question: How has your season been? Same as usual? Mild: It really has been mild.....but for the first time.....I am finding New England winters too much for me....maybe its my age; maybe its because I have a chronic illness....who knows...but I just can't take it. Especially knowing I have a choice. Winter, what winter?

I am trying to live out the buddha's teaching of being present in the moment...this moment....so I won't even let myself start imagining answers to this question....it takes the mind off the present.
Inquiring Minds Question: Have you ever hunted or caught your own food? Have you ever eaten game or wild fish? If so what?
When I was a boy my brother and I used to catch perch everyday in the summer....or just about everyday...and my Mom would bread them in corn meal and fry them up for our breakfast....as I grew I used to catch bass...but none were as sweet as those yellow perch.
As a young man I lived near the ocean and we used to gather mussels and get quohogs* for chowder! Sometimes I would fish off the breakwater for flounder. One summer we were into catching blue crabs....but they are a lot of work!!!!
*(Thats "quohogs"...nothing to do with "ground hog day").
Just for fun: TV has so many celebrity chefs these days. Who are your favorites and why? I really like "The Barefoot Contessa" Ina Garten.
Any you don't like? several....."but if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all"

Weird, but in a good way. Snow in October, cherry trees blooming in January. Loving the spring-like weather today. If this is winter, the groundhog can send us six more weeks of this.
Bonus Question: If you could have six more weeks of anything, not just weather, what would it be?
Oh now you know I'd love six weeks on a tropical islanmd with Pierce Brosnan and endless chocolate! And a masseuse, so Pierce's fingers can get a rest. Oh, and some movies (just in case we get bored).
Inquiring Minds Question:
One time I went fishing with friends and after an hour we went home and split the one teensy fish we caught.
Just for fun:
Unless the chef is touring a house on House Hunters, I wouldn't know any of them. Except for Julia Child, who I like for her "second job" (she was an international spy). The exhibit on her down at the DC Spy Museum is hilarious.
