Abigail and Moose Burgers





By the title of this post, you may be wondering how Abigail, our sweet cat, and moose burgers go together. Well, to be honest, they don't. However, I had two pictures that I wanted to post and this was the best way to do it.
You may also be wondering how in the world Mike and I came to point where we ate a moose burger. Well, it started like this. When speaking with my principal about six weeks ago, I mentioned that I would like to try some moose. Not thinking much about it, I went on my way. Two days ago, she met me as I walked in the door of the school with a grocery bag full of moose meat. It included ground moose, moose sausage and a moose roast.

It took a couple of days to get up enough nerve to take a package out of the freezer, defrost it, and cook it. Labor Day was the day we decided to throw caution to the wind and have a nice, juicy burger.

After preparing, cooking and eating, Mike and I have decided that moose definitely taste different from beef. In fact, it taste different from anything that I've ever had! We also decided that we could most likely develop a taste for moose. It wasn't too bad. Next week, we'll pull out the roast and give it a whirl.

As for our dear, sweet Abigail, we found her nicely poised in Mike's chair looking as if she had just finished two ears of corn. Personally, I think she was after the moose burger!
