Here I am enjoying the fruits of my labor, batter fried walleye, french bread, olive oil, boiled shrimp w/ melted butter and lemon. Winter is in full gear and as you can see I am holing up in the cabin. I received acceptance to the MSW grad program at St. Cloud State University and am preparing to start my BSW internship in January.

The "girls" have been producing 3-4 eggs a day and I am excited to start utilizing those eggs for all types of culinary delights.
