Getting a heart-on.

Tonight we've got an interesting item on the menu... moose heart. It's about the size of Dad's head and full of veins and arteries. I asked Mom if it's normal to eat heart and she replied; "Of course, I used to eat pigs hearts all the time! And I love me some chicken hearts!!!" Hmmm this will be interesting indeed, but I'll try anything before knocking it. I'm sure the first few people to try foie gras had their reservations as well. I wonder what part is better, the left or right ventricle.

We had moose steak and eggs for breakfast and I will be cooking up a pot of moose chili on Saturday... if moose meat gives ya gas then between the four of us, we'll be creating our own northern lights haze over the shop. Speaking of which, the aurora borealis have been incredible. Last night they were dancin' like crazy! Apparently this year they've been getting more and more intense compared to previous years where it seems the lights have taken a bit of a hiatus. Pa and I researched northern lights to find that they go through an 11 year cycle and by 2013, the northern lights will be at their height of brightness and activity. Gotta go help momma with the dishes, stay tuned for pictures of the heart.

I'm feeling rather ravenous....
