They were smelts, locally known as icefish. He’d brought them at the store in the next town south, across from which a little village had sprung up on the ice of the lake, a collection of shacks with holes drilled in and around them. I’d seen the men going from the shore to the shacks on snowmobiles, six-packs of beer strapped on behind them like a half dozen miniature passengers. “Sit and rest,” Mark said. “I’m cooking.” He sautéed minced onion in our homemade butter, added a little handful of crushed, dried sage, and when the onion was translucent, he sprinkled n flour to make a roux, which he loosened with beer, in honor of the fishermen. He added cubed carrot, celery root, potato, and some stock, and then the fish, cut into pieces, and when they were all cooked through he poured in a whole morning milking’s worth of Delia’s yellow cream. Icefish chowder, rich and warm, eaten while sitting in Mark’s lap, my feet so close to the woodstove that steam came off my damp socks.","author":"Kristin Kimball","tags":["cooking","farm","farm-life","food"],"id":37615,"author_id":"Kristin+Kimball"},{"text":"The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.","author":"James Cromwell","tags":["animals","farm","personal "],"id":37798,"author_id":"James+Cromwell"},{"text":"In his imagination, he grabbed his dad by the throat and squeezed until an old mans face turned purple.
