Preparing for the big Moose Party.

About 12 people (on and off) came and volunteered their time to start cooking for the upcoming Moose Party on Sandsøy. The hunters got the moose and hung it up to dry. After this, we got lots of the meat transported to the community house for deboning and cutting into pieces. It took about 4 hours to prepare about 55 lbs of moose meat. This is only half of what we will prepare in total for about 100 children and adults. This is a fundraiser for the local 'Activity Organization', which includes sports, art and social gatherings.

The meat is cut into cubes, here by Eldar in the back (he is my first cousin) and Ola, the sheep farmer, in the front.

Here is Tone, Ola's soon to be wife - at Christmas time, frying the meat. This meat will be put in the freezer to keep until a couple of days before the party. At that time we will have to gather again to debone, cut and fry the same amount as last time as well as put the moose stew together.

Last, but not least: Food for the volunteers. Here is Marit cooking up some delicious waffles for the workers.
