CABIN FEVER

8 months ago By Luke Clayton
Like many of you I’m sure, I spent the earlier part of this week ‘cooped up’ in the house thanks to that Alberta clipper that came roaring down and turned much of the country into a walk-in freezer!
Like many of you, Luke was ‘cooped up’ inside the house several days this past week. He shares some ideas that might help you if you might have a case of the malady known as ‘cabin fever”. Making this tasty venison stirfry not only kept Luke occupied but his family well fed! Photo by Luke Clayton
