Moose Pie & Malbec – a New Adventure

Perfectly flaky crust stuffed with delectable ingredients. You want the recipe, right?

We are coming up on our fifteenth anniversary of publishing this blog. All those years ago, we packed up our beautiful California bungalow and headed off to live an adventure well off the beaten path in bush Alaska. People thought we would return to the lovely life we left in the urban world after a year or so. But we fell in love with all the joys and challenges with living in bush Alaska and here we are…still living well off the beaten path.

Much of this blog has been dedicated to foraging and recipe creation. Fifteen years of collecting experiences, reimagining food and beverage pairings and generating culinary ideas should lead to … a cookbook! Our blog catchphrase – living well off the beaten path – is now a work progressing toward a book with the working title Moose Pie and Malbec: Eating Well Off the Beaten Path in the Alaska Bush.

To keep you, our long-time readers (and new followers) in the loop, we will endeavor to post regular peeks into what we are working on here on Cutterlight and on Instagram. Follow along on our new adventure and see how it goes, leave a “like” and feel free to comment and share!

Thanks, as always, for reading and commenting!

  1. Jack and Barbara, It has been awhile since I have seen a Cutterlight Post. Glad to know I’m still on the list. This past year I was in Northway (30 miles from the Canadian Border on the Alaskan Highway). Will be back there this year – part time. Are you still in Cordova? Again, thanks for keeping me on the list……. Rick Luthi

    • Good to hear from you, Rick. We attempted to send you a Christmas card, but it came back undelivered. Yes, we’re in Cordova and absolutely loving life here. We purchased a home within an easy walk of town with plenty of room and spectacular views. Barbra walks to and from school – about half-a-mile – nearly every day. I’ve been showing (and selling!) photographs at the local gallery. There’s lots to do here – hiking trails, festivals, working on our garden, fishing and so on. We’ve begun putting together a cookbook: check out the link on Instagram for Barbra’s updates on what we’re cooking up. We’ve got a nice guest room and we’re always happy for visitors! Say “Hi” to Brenda. JD
