Captain Alston serves dinner to friends:
duck;
bread-and-sage stuffing;
gravy;
sea lettuce and pickerelweed salad;
cattail stacks, with a flavor like sweet corn;
spinach-like boiled dock;
light honey-brown fresh bread;
no butter because not enough cows yet.
The involuntary temporal exiles make do and improvise. Duck is a welcome change from the abundant seafood.
