Stamp of the Day: Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine
Sorry guys and girls, no postcards were sent on this trip, so instead you get to enjoy these postcard stamps.
We did not see any white-tailed deers in New Hampshire, but I did have sausage made from them at Libby's Bistro in the little town of Gorham. These deers have a lot larger antlers than New Jersey deers, I wonder why? Maybe they are not white-tailed deers? I don't know what those houses are, probably famous for some historical reason.
But we saw two mooses (meese?), one in New Hampshire and one little calf in Maine. But no restaurants serve moose, and when I asked about that, they said they were just tired of them because they caused to many car accidents. At the coast near Portland we saw The Twin Lights, two light houses really close to each other. The coast is really rocky, so the ships need them badly. I wonder why the moose is wading in pea soup?
And Vermont, famous for skiing, covered bridges, and fall colors. There are a lot of trees in Vermont, so you need to watch out if you go downhill or you'll hit a tree or bridge. More real photos from this trip is coming...

Deer sausage, along with Johnson's goose wraps, could be NJ's next big export.
The reason for the restaurants not serving moose could be they haven't tried the right recipe yet. Like chocolate mousse.
Haha, very funny - I don't remember that Swedish chef episode from before.
Venison (deer) is a delicacy here, but you can't buy it in the store except as sausage. And that is probably from special deer farms, but I don't know for sure. But up north they hunt for moose, and in some states if you hit one on the road, you are responsible for getting the carcass off the road yourself (and that doesn't mean that you drag it into the ditch). So what do they do with all the moose meat? I don't know. In Sweden there is some great recipes for juniper and lingonberry sauce with moose meatballs, maybe they need to import some of that. And why not make moose burgers, they do that in Alaska (at least per Northern Exposure).
A BIIIG roadkill stew!
Tell me - why are there no dead deers and moose along the roads of Sweden? What happens to them? Do people stel them and put in their freezer boxes?
They are picked up by the local : authorities, just as in NJ.
Somliga verkar ta med sig viltet en bit i alla fall...
Märkliga djur man kan hitta i diket.
Camels in ditches... only in Sweden!
