								Quarterly Recipe
	The Fox Den
									Easy Acorn cakes 2 cups acorn meal (Crack the shells lengthwise and pull the nutmeat out whole; boil the nutmeats for about 2 hours to leach out the bitter tannin, changing the water whenever it turns yellowish; then dry and pound into a fine meal the consistency of cornmeal - or you can dry and pound the meats first, then place them in a porous cloth bag, and pour boiling water through it.) 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup water Combine all ingredients and beat into a stiff batter. Let stand one hour; then heat 3 tablespoons cooking oil in a frying pan. Drop batter into pan to form cakes about 3 inches across. Reduce heat (or put pan at edge of fire), and brown cakes slowly on both sides. Eat hot or cold. Acorn cakes will keep for several days. May drizzle honey over cakes while hot for a sweet treat.

			The Fox Den We are winding down after a good summer.  It was good to see those of you that could make it to the gathering in July.  There was a mix up in the day that caused some confusion, next year we will make sure this does not happen.  There is some talk about having our next gathering in Idaho. If this is something you would like to see then please let a council member know so that we can come to a timely decision on the matter.     As always if there is some news you would like to share with everyone please email us so that we can put it in the newsletter.
