CABIN CHEF RUSTIC RECIPES ▐
FALL SEASON COMFORT FOOD
As we enter into the fall season of lake life we enjoy the change in colors and cooler temperatures. Everything gets more quiet, we turn-in to relax and get cozy by the fireplace. We wrap up the summer season by storing our boats and getting the docks out of the water. But no reason to cry! The upcoming season brings great opportunity for creative cooking. Fresh vegetables are inviting you to create delicious meals. Think of all the possibilities to turn squash, zucchini, onion or potato into healthy food. Let’s cook something… In this issue we decided to include three recipes for you to try and explore a taste of this lake life season. The first meal is my mother’s original German potato soup recipe which reminds me of comfort food and time spent with my family. In this area we have a strong potato tradition and it felt natural to 4
BY DIRK OCKHARDT
me to try local produce for my personal cooking. I like to share a taste of home with you this way. As I have spent some time in Minnesota by now I learned about deer season and thought I’d add an alternative for preparing a hunter’s success into a delicious meal to enjoy with your whole family. Grandma’s version of goulash highlights venison and will hopefully bring a new experience of taste into your dining room. We conclude this menu with my father’s favorite dessert, Bratapfel, which is a sweet baked apple. It is a German tradition and kids favorite snack during this time of the year. Maybe you have your own apple tree or are able to visit one of the local orchards to add this new item to your baking pallet.

HUNTING SEASON
It is my favorite time of the year, the leaves are changing, providing some spectacular fall colors, cool nights put a crisp chill in the air, crops are being harvested, and of course hunting seasons are starting. As you read this article, hunting seasons will be ramping up for the fall. Grouse hunters and their dogs will be walking the forest trails hoping for a flush, bear hunters will be perched in a tree looking for a big bruin, and if you’re an archery hunter, your fingers are crossed after all the hard work getting your stands set perfectly, all the hours and miles scouting, getting food plots put in the ground, pays off with tagging a trophy whitetail buck. Deer haven’t yet experienced hunting pressure and will be in their normal summer travel patterns for the first week 30
or so of archery season. If you’ve got oaks with dropping acorns, this will always be a good bet for early season whitetails. Early October will find waterfowl hunters sitting in a marsh with their retrievers, trying to call in a flock of mallards or Canada geese. Early October archery hunters find themselves in a bit of a lull. Deer become more nocturnal as more hunters are in the woods. Mid-October, hunters will be hitting the prairies, hoping to flush a cackling rooster pheasant, while deer hunters will notice saplings being stripped of their bark, and scrapes showing up under low hanging branches as bucks become more aggressive. Late October marks the pre-rut phase. Young bucks will be cruising bedding areas looking for does, while older bucks start establishing dominance. This is a
great time to try rattling, as bucks can be very receptive to calling. Let’s not forget spending time on the water, as the fall fishing can be nothing short of fantastic. What an awesome time to be outdoors. November marks the start of firearms season in Minnesota. Family and friends gather at deer camp, anticipating opening morning, dreaming of that buck walking through their shooting lane. Bringing a kid along is a great way to pass on the tradition and create some awesome memories that they will remember their entire life. Late November, hunters will be pouring black powder down the old smoke pole. Deer are coming off the rut and those that have survived the firearms
season are stealthier than ever. As winter arrives, deer will once again follow patterns, transitioning from bedding areas to feeding areas. Deer will need to put on weight after the rut and prepare for what may be a hard winter ahead. If you’ve got a food source on your property, and you’re willing to tough out the cold, late season deer hunting can be a great time to be in the woods. The excitement is building, and the long 9 month wait is finally over. It’s time to get out and hunt, or fish and enjoy Minnesota’s great outdoors, and don’t forget to introduce someone new to the outdoors and help pass on the tradition! *jcrland.com
