Meeting the Shoshones

August 9, 1805

As soon as the Captain saw the 

man who was observed as a 

Shoshone, he ran up to him 

holding the trinkets in the air. 

He was shouting "Ta-ba-bone! 

Ta-ba-bone!" which according 

to Sacagawea was the Shoshone 

word for 'White man'. He 

stopped at a hundred paces, 

then proceeded. "Ta-ba-bone! 

Ta-ba-bone!" He pulled up his 

sleeve and showed the man on 

the horse his forearm which was 

untanned. Suddenly, the man 

turned and rode off.

Here is the recipe for the Crispy Salmon. I have been unable to find the one to go with the ingredients, so you may have to gather some more groceries.

Crispy Salmon by Gordon Ramsay

Put boiled, new potatoes in a deep frying pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil

Once potatoes are warmed, crush them with a fork, but not too much

Add some chopped spring onions

Season lightly

Add white crab meat

Mix in

Glaze with vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice)

Sprinkle with chopped coriander

Place salmon fillet skin side up on board and slice with sharp knife, three quarters of the way through at quarter inch intervals

Add sprinkle of salt to the cracks, "if you will*" in salmon

Place gently into hot oil in pan skin side down, season on top

Turn over after 4-5 mins and cook the other side for same amount of time

serve w potatoes and baked halved cherry tomatoes

*A phrase I learned only today apparently meaning a way you could describe an object, often a term used by many Teachers such as Steveo or Domi

Going through the river, you could 

see salmon everywhere. "There 

were so many salmon that you could 

probably walk across the river" said 

my friend and colleague, Mr. Johnny 

SB. Though there were so many, the 

Coreof Discovery would not eat any 

because they were used to eating 9 

pounds of meat and not fish. The 

Indians like them, though.
