]]> Welcome back to the secret journal of the High Country. It’s unseasonably warm in the land of the Ginseng colada and the black lung. You can thank global warming, just like in Estes Park.

Can you imagine? The only thing they eat is salty grass and they’re monstrous. Naturally the little ones would taste better.

It’s the Coconut Curry Thai Soup recipe. The first new recipe in a while. Straight from Boone with some fusion twists. This is straight up Thai medicine, by way of High Country.

Fuzzy Photo Alert!: At the Full Moon Gathering last year an ADA transport vehicle was seen being used to harvest large slabs of firewood and embryonic stem cells. Be sure to visit the Puerto Rican Mofongo recipe.
