Doug biked along for my run this morning and we found a moose with two calves on the Campbell Creek bike trail between the Alaskan Native Medical Center and Lake Otis. We also found some spawning salmon in the creek. We did a little part of the garden tour that had six houses on one street on the hillside then made it to X & WY's for dinner. There were several other folks with China experience and as good Chinese food as you're going get in Anchorage. 
And long life noodles for Alex and my belated birthdays. Here's Alex's dad making the noodles. He prepared most of the food. He learned to cook during during the Cultural Revolution when he was sent to Inner Mongolia and was assigned to cook.
Tomorrow morning we head out for Denali. Back on Thursday night, so I expect the blog to be pretty quiet. We had a little sunshine today and are hoping to see a certain mountain tomorrow as we drive north.
I haven't seen food like that.
ReplyDeleteI love how you mention casually that he learned to cook during the Cultural Revolution. It must have been traumatic, but who could have told him that in several decades that he'd be using those skills and hanging out with friends in ALASKA?
ReplyDeleteI am dying to see you write about how and when you heard they indicted Ted Stevens.
