First time for everything

As I walked out my backdoor yesterday afternoon to take a bike ride, I noticed the most unusual thing sitting atop our wood storage shed in the backyard. It was a long, thick piece of something wrapped in almost a potato-like sack, but it was dripping red residue everywhere beneath it. Upon further investigation and a good whiff of the odor coming off of it, I realized that it was a full leg of Moose. I was mesmerized. I have seen many moose in my time here in Alaska and had talked to many people that had been out hunting and had "nabbed" one, as they say. But to see a full Moose leg, skinned and ready to carve was one of the coolest things in the world. i asked my neighbor what it was doing there, and she explained that it had been brought to her father as a gift from a friend who had been north for the last three days. At night, Eleanor, the woman who lives next door, and her sons carved the meat up and even gave my roommate and I a hefty bag of the succulent red meat. I don't know how to prepare the Last Frontier mascot, but I do know that I look forward to eat bullwinkle for the next couple of weeks. So long from the Last Frontier!


P.S. If you have any suggestions of how to cook it, let me know!!!
