We took some of that moose meat that Maciek got and made it into an Australian-style meat pie (and mini-pies). With a side of poutine!

Our current cooking adventure is ginger beer. The recipe is very simple: add grated ginger, sugar, yeast, and water to a container and let it sit. The challenge is that the fermentation is highly energetic and is liable to create a carbonation bomb if the container is sealed too tight for too long.
It only takes a day or two to get a tangy, fizzy ginger beverage. Pictured below with a smoked meat sandwich with homemade sauerkraut.

(note: despite the name, ginger beer is a non-alcoholic beverage)
I didn’t even know that it was possible to make these at home. But it is, and we did, and it worked, and they are delicious.
