RICE Life On Ice

Picture
Life in the field is hard work, but also heaps of fun. While our main objective is the collection of ice cores and other scientific data from Roosevelt Island, we also manage to have quite a bit of fun during our field seasons. A typical RICE field season lasts from October to January (the austral summer). Since this periods spans numerous holidays & birthdays, we often manage to take time out for special meals, and sometimes a movie night. 


"...we have had a couple of stunning culinary breakthroughs in field camp cuisine, firstly the “stacon”, a delicious prime porterhouse steak, grilled to your liking, wrapped in a subtly smoked rasher of middle bacon all fried in premium New Zealand butter.  Followed up by Otis’ famous pancakes, thoughtfully crafted from cheesecake mix, cooked in buttery deliciousness!  Thirdly the Roosevelt Island Burger, created by Hoff, with butter fried hash browns, butter fried bacon, butter fried grilled cheddar, between two lightly butter fried bagels, seasoned to perfection with fistfuls of organic sea salt served with a side of defibrillator."
