The historic election is over, but I have to make one last jab about my favorite VP candidate - Sarah Palin. Besides missing Tina Fey's impression, I am going to miss all the research on caribou recipes. I suppose I'll have to shelve my plan for an upcoming cook book of caribou recipes, in English and Russian. So, here's my last shot.
Ms. Palin did a post-electoral interview with Fox News, you know, the non-elite media, that was supposed to portray her as up-beat and busy as ever. The ladies on The View, the elite media (except for the blonde), had way too much fun deconstructing the clip of Palin in her kitchen. "Who cooks in a business suit?" they asked. And then one of them said, "She was making hot dogs with cheese or something. I wanted the recipe!"
Because it's The View and it moves at a fast pace, no one could connect the dots (and I don't mean figuring out how to make a cheese dog - Velveeta. Hot dog. Bun. C'mon!). Cooking in a business suit. Cheese dogs. There's no doubt about it, Palin is planning a political-interview cooking show. Something like This Week combined with Rachel Ray. Look out View ladies, she could be taking away some of your ratings!

Look to Finland for more caribou recipes! The last time I was in Helsinki, I had caribou (well, actually, domestic reindeer) pizza, and caribou-stuffed Finnish Gold potatoes. Yummy!
I am intrigued. Tell us more about this trip and what you ate! There is a publication here, Cincinnati Gentleman, that mentioned venison was served at the first Thanksgiving. I want to make it clear, if it isn't already, I am all for eating caribou/venison/elk/reindeer, I am against lack of creativity in the face of local bounty.
