Recommended book: Fat of the Land

[Snapdad]

My fly fishing pal/author Lang started a blog which then turned into a book called Fat Of The Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager.

An exquisite tale of his foray into the Pacific Northwest to learn how to live off of it and know it all so much more.

Every chapter has a recipe, too. I highly recommend it.

The Pacific Northwest and fly fishing....Have you ever read David James Duncan's , "The River Why?"

[Snapdad]

Sure, along with River Teeth, but I haven't read the Brothers K yet. I enjoy his work. He's a great speaker, too and is really involved in protecting habitat.
He reminds me a bit of Rick Bass, who wrote the wonderful 'Book of Yaak', about one of the last unfettered spots in Northwest Montana.

Did you check out Lang's blog? He has a dandelion wine recipe up right now, along with several other treats! The thing is, ya gotta werk for your grub.

"Fat of the Land" reminds me of Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" where Lenny and George dream of having their own 10-acre place, raise rabbits and live off the fat of the land. Could you post Lang's blog url again for me?

Brutus, it's in the original post, just above. Hover your mouse over the title. It's a hotlink. I'll go see if I can underline it.

Oh! Look at that! He already has a new recipe up for dandelion jelly!

He's a busy squirrel.

Doh! Nicely understated...sort of
