The cold storage lies just beyond the cottage door. In it are various harvested vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Cured meat hangs from the ceiling by thin rope. The room is made of wood, and the wind whistles through the cracks.

I was married off by my family about five years ago. I spend my days cooking and cleaning so my husband will have something to eat when he returns from his work and can enjoy a clean home. I love my husband dearly because he works very hard to provide for us.
Why it's a cold room dear!  We need to keep the vegetables fresh, or they'll rot before we can eat them or use them for spring planting.  Now be a dear and pass me the potatoes please? Yes, let me just put this away first... I hate it in here, this is my least favorite chore!  I was just tidying up a bit before supper sweetie.  Potatoes and meat again I think?  After the potatoes if would help me with this cured moose meat that would be wonderful. Alright, some cured moose meat I can get behind! Although, I must admit, I am tired of potatoes - aren't you? Well, I am up for something new - anything else in here that you would like to eat instead?  We have jams, puddings, carrots, pears, apples, pies, pork, mutton, elk, rabbit, and even a slice of Auroch from your last hunt. Oh! What if we made a stew? I always love when we make stew together. Why a stew would be lovely - why it has been so very long since we had moose stew.  What would you like in it aside from the Moose - and don't you dare say "more moose" again! Well, for sure, more moose. But what if we add some carrots, and the potatoes we were going to use anyway?  Excellent idea my love!  Moose, taters, and carrots!  It will be a feast!  Why, I must be off to get the fire started.  We will eat like the Kings of Old tonight! Yes! Does that mean we can get out of this place?? I am freezing! Yes dear, you grab the meat and potatoes, I'll grab the carrots, and makes us some stew.  You make me so very happy with all the hard work you do for us, you do know that right? Thank you, that means very much to me. But you are the one that holds us together with all that you do.
