Some friends from work invited us over to make jelly from this year's harvest of wild Sitka berries. It was really fun. We're hoping to make some from our own picked berries next year. Here's a shot I took with some creative lighting.

One of the things I want to learn while I live in AK is how to cook fish well. There is so much quality fish here so I just have to. Here is my first attempt: pan-seared rockfish with lemon beurre blanc. Note to self: cooking with wine rocks. |

Mari gave it thumbs up. I'd recommend adding 1/2 the amount of lemon the recipe calls for.
By the way, this place rocks and Sitkans are very generous. This Christmas we've been given 12 jars of jelly, an assortment of baked goods, a bottle of wine, a pumpkin roll, and cookies. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Yum!
