Nom Nom

Kimchee is the food of the gods, not to mention one of the healthiest foods on earth. Maybe one of these days I'll pony up a recipe for you folks out there in roughfisherland. In the meantime, you'll just have to eat vicariously through me while I make my way through 6 quarts of heaven in a jar.

Scenes from a Fall morning

Half a dozen hens and one rooster. I didn't even have a chance.

Blazing Stars and Bluestem

Once covering the great expanse of the Glacial Lake Aggassiz basin, the eastern tallgrass prairie is now merely a shadow of its former self. Bisected by rowcrops of corn, soybean and sugarbeets, interspersed with beds of sunflowers and amber waves of wheat, the once blazing prairie fell victim to the blade of the plow. What's left is merely a pittance of a once prodigious parcel.

The following is a brief glimpse into one of the largest sections of virgin prairie remaining in Minnesota, and one of the highest quality prairie sites in the U.S.

Crown Jewels

One of my favorite spots on earth, located deep within the Superior National Forest. Serene and picturesque, this place symbolizes the heartbeat of Northern Minnesota. Towering outcrops of granite and greenstone, majestic pines, drumming grouse, and the forest floor littered with blueberries and wild strawberries. The added bonus, Salvelinus fontinalis swim these waters. I make it a point to visit whenever I'm in the region.

Lowbush blueberries, the jewel of the Canadian Shield. Not to be confused with the bastardized commercially cultivated highbush variety, these berries are the real deal, sweet and juicy.


I've made a lot of great memories at this place. I just hope to someday share this with my kids.

I heart Minnesota.

Tribal art

I have yet to get inked, but if and when I do, tribal fish art is a serious contender.
