Naw! Anchovies are yummy too.

See!

Edmonton has certainly matured and diversified over the past 30
years. When I came out this way it was just steak, burgers, pizza
and chop suey. Today, just about everything can be had. But then
every place is like that now. It's the times we live in. Even Rae
Edzo, NWT has a Chinese place and Cobden, Ont (pop 900) has a Greek
one.

Yellowknife just got a new restaurant and wine bar, "Thompson's wine
and tapas room". I haven't checked it out yet.

I don't think the term "baby beef" has any legal meaning but I think
of it as either grass fed fall veal or spring yearling. Either way
it lacks all the goodness of both real veal and real beef and little
merit.

Are you guys serious about this Feb? If so, I'll plan accordingly.

That's a Hereford bull. Hereford heifers thinks he's cute!

I am so happy that Neekha has seen a caribou gutted and butchered,
shot a duck and caught and cleaned fish. And Lexi knows muk tuk
comes from whales and is OK with that.

    To: Jim Weller Subj: things 730

Sounds fantastic. I look forward to the pending full report.

Cheers
