I wasn't paying attention. Was that an electrically heated warm tile
floor? That would never work here where diesel generated power costs
32 cents per kilowatt-hour. I have occasionally seen small patches
of it in bathrooms of really upscale houses.

One thing that is fairly common here is a combination of diesel or
propane fired boilers and tubular in-floor heating.

Even $10 per hour won't allow am employee to rent a 2 bedroom apt in
most places.

That's odd. In Canada a condominium corporation must have audited
financial statements and pass an annual budget at every annual
general meeting. As well they have to have a building reserve fund
analysis done five years. And every Realtor worth his salt gets
those documents before he activates the listing because he knows a
savvy buyer will insist on reviewing them.

      Title: Venison Pot Roast with Apple Cider
 Categories: Game, Fruit, Venison
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      3 lb Venison shoulder roast
      3 tb All-purpose flour
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground pepper
    1/4 ts Allspice
      2 tb Shortening
      1 c  Apple cider
      1 c  Bouillon
      1 c  Celery, 2" pieces
      3 md Potatoes, quartered
      4    Carrots, cut in 3" pieces
      1 ts Thyme
 
  Combine the flour salt, pepper, and allspice. Dredge meat in mixture,
  reserving excess flour. Brown the roast in the shortening. In a Dutch
  oven or crock pot, pour the apple cider and beef bouillon over the
  roast, cover, and cook slowly for 2 hours. If the meat is not tender
  enough, continue cooking until tenderized. Add the celery, potatoes,
  carrots, and thyme. Continue cooking for 30 minutes until vegetables
  are done. Remove the meat and vegetables to a warm platter. Add the
  reserved flour (and more if necessary) to the liquid in the pan to
  make a gravy for the roast. Additional beef bouillon may be added to
  the liquid to make more gravy.
