Week What?

I have come to remember something that I had forgotten a long time ago. Namely how easy it is to lose track of time when you are at a field station. Here it is Saturday night and I just realized that I have not updated my blog for almost a full week. Days blend together and the day of the week don't mean much. Everybody works 7 days a week, the only difference is that on Sundays the cook, Rosemary, doesn't cook. Everything else is the same.

Speaking of Rosemary, holy smoke, what a cook. Rosemary is a lady who really knows her way around the kitchen. She has not only fed us, but she has put out a menu that has been incredible. My wife said it the best way possible, "You changed locations and exchanged great accommodations for great food." That is the truth. In Kellyville, we were living off of frozen pizzas and frozen meals. Here we are treated to meals that are fabulous. We have fresh veggies every meal, we have meals that cater to every ethnic group. For example, this evening we had grilled lamp chops, vegetarian stir fry, caesar salad, butter carrots, small potatoes, fresh baked rolls and lemon squares for dessert. Today's lunch was chipote black bean pumpkin soup, regular salad, green chicken enchiladas, veggie enchiladas and corn bread. Every day has been a different culture and different styles of cooking. There is truth to the saying that summit has the best food in Greenland. This is a tribute to our cook for this phase, Rosemary.
