The Summertime is Coming






















We're pretty excited about the upcoming Summer here at Odin Green. There's a new pub in town, the birds are singing, and the weather is getting better and better (or at least, it is supposed to after this weekend!). What better place to be than a quiet spot on a forested path, or on the water's edge, fishing for a pickerel supper? That's what we'll be thinking about as we get the boat ready to go in the water, the super-mower ready to cut the grass, and our arms ready to attack those pesky weeds whenever they pop up!

We've got some interesting posts lined up for you over the next weeks. Just now, though, we're still pretty busy with Spring preparations! While you wait, why don't you give us a call and arrange to be on the first boat ride?

Think it's still too cold to plan boat rides? Perhaps you'd like to check out some of our favourite recipes for wilderness cooking.

Cattails grow a-plenty near Odin Green, and (we think) Spring is the best time to eat them - when they're still green. Our favourite way to eat them is (of course) fried in butter, but we were thinking of trying this Cat-on-the-Cob recipe with garlic butter! The cattail pollen pancakes sound delicious too, but we'll have to wait a bit for the flowers to bloom before we try those.





  • The 3 Foragers have a really inspiring post with great pictures of cattail feasts. Here are some samples:

Hungry yet? We are! Let's go foraging.
