Of course it makes for a heavier food pack, but as Smashdancer's brother told him years ago when our Quetico groups merged: "Don't skimp on the food. We'll carry it."

Here's what he said, and he's re-creating his moves based on the picture:

"In skillet, brown chopped garlic and whole pine nuts in olive oil. Get the garlic crisp. Care not to burn. Set aside.
To olive oil and butter add sea salt and coarse pepper / add diced onions and sun dried tomatoes.
Boil orzo and drain for later use.
Add kale and or spinach to the tomatoes and onions and let heat wilt those greens.
Add orzo. Sprinkle crisp garlic and pine nuts atop and serve.
I no doubt added some spices like paprika and filee powder .. maybe some others."

Sounds good to me 

Probably should go in Recipe section but I appreciate the effort. 

I used to feel bad about losing a fish, but then I realized that NOTHING truly goes to waste in nature.

Everything winds up food for something and sometimes like with that eagle it makes for an exciting moment.

Newbies find that out real quick when the leave a stringer of fish dead OR alive unattended for too long. 

That's good proof that doing nothing isn't the same as having nothing to do.
