Twenty pounder? Truth is the biggest caught for the day is more than 30 lbs. Husband got lucky that day. So far this is his biggest catch after having just 15 lbs, 20, or 22 pounders. Not bad at all. The good thing about living in the province or rural area is the vicinity to the forest and the ocean. All you need is a boat, fishing rods, net, trap, and the license to do it. You wont get hungry here. In the forest, you can have edible source of food such as the deer for its venison, wild turkey if there's any, moose do you eat moose? When it comes to vegetation, the forest offers wild veggies such as mushroom but be careful in picking them for there are few mushrooms that you can't eat for some of them are poisonous. There are wild berries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries in the bushes although we'd rather buy from the supermarket. I let the birds eat those berries in the forest.
Besides, I would prefer fruits in can. Awesome canned fruit from the Philippines like the ones canned by Dole. Fruit in assorted variety (pineapple, apple, cherries, grapes, pears, banana, melon or cantaloupe, nectarines, papaya and mangoes) rich in its sweetened syrup from its natural fruit flavour is the most delicious of all fruits especially if you have them mixed with Nestle cream and condensed milk. Chill it in the fridge for few minutes and taste it's awesome goodness later.
What that tiny dinosaur doing on my glass of fruit salad?
Hmm---just to remind you about the olden days of the land before time. When dinosaurs roam the earth. Such a long pre-historic story while I wait for the husband to clean the fish and we can make them into sardines.
Oh here it is the giant pot is already boiling. This how we do it. Actually thank the husband for his knowledge in fishing, cooking, steaming and the many "jack of all trades" he learnt from his parents, educators and from books. In the truest sense some of these are based from his experience living in a logging camp owned by his parents in the 1940's.
Knowledge is power and when you have so much survival skills you wont get hungry nor get out of place.
