Out to dinner with some friends/relatives on Saturday nite. They live a different life than I do. They’re hard working, hard drinking, hard living, hunting, fishing, give-me-mosquitoes-to-traffic-anytime type people.

I’ve been there, but I’ve tempered significantly since the 1980’s. Life in the city does that to you. On the other hand, they live as much as they can up at Chuchi Lake, about 2 hours north of Ft. St. James. Now that’s where you find mosquitoes and fish!

Anyway, what a meal! BBQed steaks, corn-on-the-cob, baked potatoes, garlic prawns, and coldslaw for the main course, followed with a lovely light birthday cake for my sister-in-law. Not sure if the meat was a result of hunting last year or not. Didn’t care, it was great.

I haven’t had a dinner like that for a very long time, and it was quite a treat. Thanks to Sandi for cooking it up, and to Sharon, Duke, and Rod for the conversation.
