September 6 1804
Today, Sea, the cook, and I went out to hunt. We would have to find something big or two animals, like a buck, a bison, or a grizzly bear. I had hoped we would get at least two of the three because we use everything on the animal and these creatures have a lot to provide. The Deer has antlers that can make knives along with the bones of a grizzly. and the hide on all of them will provide us with materials for moccasins, bedding and clothing. I love the meat on all except I do not love bear meat. Oh well on an expedition who is complaining? Meat is Food and food is health and energy! We ended up killing a giant buck and a decent sized buffalo. I am very grateful for our luck! We will soon be tanning the hide of the deer and making new shirts and shoes. We also will use the fur of the buffalo's fur for clothing and bedding for warmth because winter is coming fast. Did I mention we will dine like kings tonight also?

Graham, I really like your most recent entry about how you got the deer. So well, written. You had me glued to each line. You write so well. I think you should do more. Add a picture now and then, and your words taste as good as your cooking.
Don't forget to lead each entry (even recipes) with a date and a year.
