HEARTY food keeps you warm when the winter winds blow. At least that's what the good folks who host the Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival believe. At the annual February affair in The Pas, you'll find no shortage of put-some-meat-on-your-bones, stick-to-your-ribs fare. Over at the King Trapper events, the boys let their roaring fires burn down a bit. They coaxed half-frozen fingers (it was -23 C at the time) into mixing flour and lard -- the beginning of bannock. Squares of dough slid into hot lard. The competitors gingerly checked on the browning before giving the bannock a flip. The onlookers salivated as the smell of woodsmoke, hot lard and deep-fried bannock cut through the icy temperatures.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a very large bowl. Cut lard into pieces and add to flour mixture. Blend in using a pastry blender until lard is in pea-sized bits. Stir in milk gradually using a strong wooden spoon, until pastry is slightly sticky. Do not overwork. Roll out as usual for pies. Fill with cooled meat. Baste with beaten egg mixture. Bake at 350º until golden brown. You can also use oblong pans instead of pie plates, which makes serving large crowds easier. This pastry is also delicious for fruit pies. Using fresh or leftover pastry dough made from tourtière recipe, roll out into an oblong shape about 1/8 to 1/4" thick. Spread with soft butter, then cover with a layer of dark brown sugar. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Add bits of maraschino cherries and walnuts or a...

At the beginning of the month, when the food stamps arrive, they snap up buckets of lard so big that the label says: "Warning -- Children can fall into bucket and drown." The manager, Key-Ray Adkins, shrugs: "People now say lard isn't good for you. But it's what we grew up with. The local cuisine dates back to the days when people burned off calories at work. But the coal mines now use more machines and fewer people. "That's good, in that people aren't getting torn apart in mining accidents," says Rob Walker a local doctor. "But bad in that they are gaining a lot of weight." Dr. Walker is one of those. "You may say: 'Eat less salt because you have high blood pressure.' He may reply: 'But I feel fine.' You have to be able to say: 'I know, but your wife and your three kids need you to be...
This paper argues that a complex of accounting measures - account books, inventories of accumulated wealth, and detailed instructions for production performance - were used to inculcate Western values into the native population located at five Franciscan missions along the San Antonio River in New Spain (present-day Texas) from 1718 to 1794. Bolstered by the need to alleviate communications problems caused by extreme isolation, the missionaries constructed detailed mission documents that described the acquisition of scarce resources, reported the aggregation of material and spiritual mission wealth, and controlled daily production performance of the native population. In short, the resulting mission economic system, which held the Indians to certain notions of accountability, primarily ...

Eve Buzahora was looking for a recipe for a pie crust made with 7Up that you press right into the pan. Lorraine Groenheide of Oakbank supplied the following recipe. Thanks also to Edna Mroz of Beausejour, Sherron Litkowich of Oakbank, Judy Shkolny, Arlene Munnoch, Marilyn Sawka, Gerri McCullough, Laurel Krynski, Joan Honsberger-Siemens, Mary Enright and Susan Gurney for responding. Taste Tester Notes: This makes a tender, slightly crumbly pastry for single crust pies. I found it browns faster than my usual pie pastry, so you may need to decrease the temperature and baking time a bit in your recipes, depending on your oven and the type of pan you use. (I pricked the dough and baked as a shell in a Pyrex pan for about 12 minutes at 400 F for a lemon meringue pie, with good results). Simi...

[...] white clay was used in the early 1700s for powdering the wigs, but by 1795, the English were using hair powder which was made of wheat starch. Among those exempt were the royal family and their "immediate" servants, clergymen who made less than £100 a year, subalterns and enlisted personnel in the army, and naval officers below the ran of commander.

Let this be a lesson to those of you contemplating a home gym. (Who isn't at this time of year?) Owning fitness equipment means maintaining more than your weight, but having a home gym beats going to a gym for many reasons. First off, health clubs have people. People who can see you. The fact that you have to haul your lard rump to the gym probably means you're not thrilled about pulling on a pair of shorts or something spandex and shaking what your mama gave you (and then some) in front of all those buff and toned gym rats. -- and this will shock manufacturers -- some people actually use their home gyms. In our basement gym, we have old, mismatched free weights, a Lifecycle and a treadmill. The bike hasn't worked in five years. We keep it to make the gym look better and hope it may som...
The extension of human life will also depend on people's lifestyle, [Michael Zey] says, and the current obesity epidemic, smoking habits and other unhealthy behaviours indicate they don't always make beneficial choices. People can be "seduced" by breakthroughs they believe will save them from themselves, he says, citing the notion that cholesterol treatment drugs are a licence to dine on lard-laden foods. Longer lives also have the potential to impact families and personal lives, he's written in the World Future Society's magazine, The Futurist. "When the life span exceeds 125, our expectation about living with the same person for a century or more might change," he writes, proposing that spouses might "take a 'marriage hiatus' for a year or two to pursue their individual interests.
