POT LUCK PARTY IN THE BREAKERS BAR AND GRILL

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

All that talk about blueberries caused me to make a couple of pies! The vanilla ice cream is keeping cold on the porch.

Whops :oops:

nom-nom-nom.. Those pies were lovely and the vanilla ice cream as well.. There are still some left (perhaps I should have eaten more to dinner?).. But I made some norwegian style pancakes, they are more like crepes (but not that thin) and commonly eaten with blueberry jam and sugar.

Blueberries, bilberries and huckleberries are not the only Vaccinium species we share across the upper latitudes. There is another " cousin", we call it the highland cranberry, or low-bush cranberry, but it is known elsewhere as Lingonberry.

"Upta camp" we can't avoid stepping on them anywhere there is not a cleared and graveled or concrete path.

I've left a couple jars of cranberry/lingonberry sauce, try it with Mira's Norwegian pancakes. swedes seem to like that combination.

lingonberry jam... mmmm... that is tasty. Usually we use it together with steak but also meatballs.

So, since we are on a berry trip, I leave some cloudberries as well, together with how we often eat it during Christmas, multekrem. Multekrem is whipped cream with cloudberries, eaten with krumkaker (kind of thin, crispy cookie).

(I think we covered most of our wilds much eaten berries now, lingonberry, cloudberry, blueberry.. of course we have wild/wood strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, I guess you find them all in northern parts of America). crowberries are in huge amounts in the low mountains, but aren't used that much.

I also chopped some more wood for the fire, there are still a lot of race left!

For breakfast, I'm serving up some of my famous "camp stove eggy bread". A morning ritual along many rivers and bays paddled. It's basically French toast, but the British sea kayakers Bullwinkle used to train and paddle with called it eggy bread and the name stuck. Served with warm blueberry sauce and/or maple syrup and powdered sugar sprinkled over all. And coffee, of course. Fresh perked. No Keurig this morning! :o

Perfect. Just what I was in the mood for this morning. It's strawberry time here, so I'm going to leave a bowl of fresh picked strawberries on the table with some cream on the side. Use as you see fit. :D
