Yes, my posts have been few and far between this summer. I guess you could say we have been outside enjoying every minute of the sunshine. I think the goal of people living in Northern climates should be to get as much vitamin D as possible before we don’t see a lick of it for 9 months.
One of the aspects of living up here in the “wild” is that we still get to do live off the land, pioneer style activities. Things like berry picking and also diving for freshwater clams. We were on another one of our adventures when we noticed these beauts sticking up out of the sand. After collecting them for about 20 minutes we had a pot full. Being the proud owners of our dumb (not smart) phones we could not google the best way to cook clams, so we had to improvise. We boiled them over the fire until they magically opened on their own and then after trying them- decided they needed some extra help in the flavor department.
We found that clams do not have much flavor but take on the flavors around them and have a very interesting texture (interesting in a bad way).
So, we looked at our supplies and decided to fry them in some shore lunch.
Perfection. If you deep fry anything the kids are sure to love it =)
And if they aren’t fans of the deep fried clams they can always make grass, leaf, pinecone soup.
