The number one thing I love about the internet: you can click click click and somehow stumble across wonderful stories and information you'd never have found otherwise. All this interconnectedness I suppose that's the whole purpose of the internet, isn't it?
Anyway, today my clicking and stumbling led me to this article about Georgia Pellegrini's book "Girl Hunter." She's a pretty impressive lady who gave up a lucrative career in finance to go to culinary school and ultimately opted to be a part of every stage of her cooking process including harvesting her own meat.
I've admired female hunters from afar for a while now, writing a piece for her magazine a few months back, mostly because I'm not one. My husband hunts, I have a bow, but I don't have that drive inside me that points me towards a tree stand. Maybe some day I'll give it a try.
"Girl Hunter" became available for purchase today I'll hopefully have a review up sometime in the next week or so.
But meanwhile, you should check out Georgia's website.
Among the things I love about it: recipes, DIY home decor ideas and homemade gift ideas. The latter two generally appearing under the heading "Pioneer Skills."
I particularly like this holiday decorating idea using mason jars, spray paint and flowers. I would probably add a clear coat of enamel to prevent chipping. They could also make cute gift receptacles just fill 'er up and put some fabric and ribbon over the lid.
She has some really cute ideas and insights. I'm definitely looking forward to reading her book.
