Doing the local thing in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I love to garden, cook, talk about life and times and ponder how lucky I am to live in this magical place.

The first salad of the summer
The fruits of the garden! It's so nice to be able to enjoy the bounty. Here we have green leaf lettuce (that I had let go to seed and came back), chives and chive blossoms, tarragon, mint and the first few strawberries. This is summer...
What a great blog! I found it through the Local Beet here in Chicago.
I love that your blog shows how much great food can be found and grows naturally, or can be grown just about anywhere in our country. I have great memories of camping in the Black Hills when I was a kid.
Your beautiful salad is a perfect example of something that could be served in a farmhouse or in an expensive restaurant in a big city.
On a side note: If you know the hunter who gave you the pheasant that was in your freezer and he/she can provide you with more, try to convince them to leave the skin on. I have several hunters who offer me birds but I tell them I don't want them if they pull the skin off! They always cook up too dry without the skin. I've also had them give me the whole birds and I eviscerate them myself.
