From: Canadaabout me
i am a native of Northern Ireland and moved to Canada when i got married - currently i am living ten months of the year on a First Nations Reserve in Northern Canada as my Husband works there - it is in the lower arctic and temperatures of minus 40 and lower are normal i love to cook but am limited in that the rez is fly in and only basics are brought in and not even every week - the costs are also prohibitive - but when we move off rez i have such wonderful plans!

school picnic
in June the school had a picnic - more of a BBQ - nothing special in the way of food - cheeseburgers and hot dogs for the students - bannock and floured trout for the community elders - and heart palpitations for the teachers as there were black bears at the site just a couple of hours before we all arrived - and kindergarten kids look bear bite size to me!
