=======================
-=> Quoting Hap Newsom to Jim Weller <=-

 -> Norman Wells has a small population and is not even on a road. They
 -> have a few small green houses just for locally consumed vegetables.

 HN> That would make sense, a good place to grow some of
 HN> the cold weather veggies like brussels sprouts, cabbages,
 HN> Chard, broccoli, etc! Put up some grow lights and you're 
 HN> in business!
             
Grow lights run up a huge power bill. That greenhouse is just used
to extend the growing season before and after frost. It is in use
from April to October only.

 ->  HN> If you got a place warm enough you could 
 ->  HN> run a worm bin and make good soil out of 
 ->  HN> waste food!
 -> 
 -> Earth worms die here unless you bring them in for the winter!

 HN> More than likely they'd never need to be outside! A good
 HN> way to dispose of kitchen wastes and turning it into 
 HN> a usuable product!

We had a small indoor worm farm for a while. It was more of a
science project for Neekha than a serious attempt to recycle food
waste or create compost.

 ->  -> We are only 11% higher than Edmonton, thanks to improved
 ->  -> transportation systems in recent years.

Imagine the prices in the off road communities. Raine reported that
milk was $5 per litre in Aklavik and the one single head of lettuce
in the general store was all brown and priced at $6.

Raine, Chuck and both babies were in Inuvik last week for Chuck's
aunt's funeral. Lexi and Charlee were the centre of attention as
they were the youngest kids present at the extended family
gathering.

Lexi reports, "My real name is Kassoun. And I is an Ikimo. I is an
Ikimo cause I eat muk tuk and Ikimo doughnuts now."

      Title: Eskimo Doughnuts
 Categories: Native, Bread
      Yield: 1 batch
 
           Baking soda
           Sourdough dough
           Extra flour
           Salt
 
  One teaspoon soda into sourdough and as much flour as you need.
  Sprinkle with little salt, then knead. Take one piece of the dough at
  a time, roll between hands, then make a hole in the middle with your
  finger. We melt the seal blubber. After it is melted we put the
  doughnuts in it and cook them in the seal oil.
