Alaskan Birthday
Posted by lapazfarm on August 5th, 2008 filed in alaskaIn our family we have a tradition of the birthday boy/girl choosing whatever they want for dinner and whatever kind of cake and ice cream they want for dessert. Well, yesterday was Superboy’s 13th birthday, so he got to choose the night’s menu. So, what does an Alaskan boy request for his special meal???
MOOSE, of course!
So, here was last night’s menu: Roast Moose steaks, mashed potatoes, sourdough rolls and a salad of Alaska-grown greens. And for dessert, Extreme Moose tracks Ice cream (of course!) and this:
Are we detecting a theme here?
And what was on his birthday list?
Water purifyer,Camel back, Flint and steel firestarter, 1 man tent, sleeping mat, SAS Survival Handbook, campstove…
What is this boy planning????
Well, whatever it is….HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPERBOY!!!!
( lets just hope he is around to see his 14th birthday next year!LOL! )

My husband's new book!

I knew he would feel right at home up there! Happy Birthday Superboy! Sounds like a fun party.

Moose is delicious! It’s sounding a bit “My Side of the Mountain”. Did he get the SAS book? Let me know - we have an extra one if he didn’t.

That is wonderful ~ He’s a man’s man even at 13! Happy Birthday Superboy!

Kodiak Cake brownies are delicious, but they are so expensive!
Theresa, I don’t know whether you have this one already or not. I’ve nominated you for the Brillante Weblog Award:

Sounds like a wonderful birthday for a 13 year old boy! Somehow I just knew that he would ask for those survival materials. Happy Birthday Superboy!

Happy Birthday, Superboy!
I wish you many wonderful adventures!!

Well, he has good taste. Moose is good. Unfortunately you have to know a hunter. Had it recently in Sweden but hadn’t for a long time before that.
Happy Birthday SuperBoy.
(And I don’t know where they get that thing about adolescents wanting to be independent. No evidence. None.
)

Happy birthday Superboy!

What a great moose themed meal. Moose is one game meat I’ve never had - sounds intriguing.

Yours chooses steaks??? How unfair! My son just turned 12 on Saturday and what did he request (as that is the tradition in our houseold also)? Cereal, macaroni and cheese and macaroni and cheese. Oh and I can’t forget, a chocolate, valnilla cake with chocolate frosting with strawberries, blueberries and bananas on top. (That part was good)
Hope Superboy had a great birthday.

Happy Birthday Superboy!

Happy Birthday, Superboy! I hope that you received all that you dreamed of. Can’t wait to hear where you take it…
Much love to SB’s mom!
August 6th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
We can’t wait to hear about the adventures Superboy has with all those survival supplies!
August 6th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
You know, he would choose moose. I’m not one bit suprised. And of course the mashed potatoes. Did you guys get any, or did he eat them all himself?T hose brownies sound great though. I wish I could have been there. I love you guys!

Though wait, when did he get that old? last time I checked he was still a little kid. I remember decorating for his 5th birthday party (cowboy theme). Jeeze the time sure does fly.

Happy Birthday to your son! My sister and her family lived in Ketchican for many years a long while ago before cruise liners made it one of their stops. She always mentioned their wonderful moose dinners and likened them to a great roast beef dinner for us. What a fun party theme..

This is belated but nonetheless enthusiastic! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPERBOY!!! Hugs from all of us!

welcome to the teen years, Superboy! Make sure to throw a journal in there…you will definitely want a record of his adventures!
