Hey, give me some wasabi paste and soy sauce and I will quite happily eat raw fish. 🙂

You can do a ketogenic diet with no meat at all. Children with epilepsy that didn’t respond to medication used to be put on a high fat ketogenic diet. The fat can be vegetable based.

Oddly enough, that diet can also be used to treat menopausal hot flashes. I had a bad reaction to HRT, so I tried the high fat keto diet for a couple of months and went from having about 12 flashes a day down to 2 or 3.

Even before then, it was a boom and bust sort of business.

I worked in the oil patch in Calgary for a little over 30 years. It has always been a cyclical boom and bust business. You save money when the work is plentiful and live modestly when the inevitable downturn comes and the layoffs start.

I watched a lot of baking shows in the first 2 years of the pandemic - they were comforting somehow. I was even inspired to try a few things I’d never attempted before.

There is/ maybe still is a pub in Calgary that was once a funeral home.

The Inuit avoided scurvy by eating some of their fish and meat raw during long Arctic winters. Apparently there is some vitamin C in raw flesh which is destroyed by cooking.

The risk of parasite infestation increases, but they probably learned what to watch out for, just as they learned to avoid eating polar bear livers.

Call me crazy, but pissing off the military seems like a very bad idea.

Christmas always wins. It struts into the stores before Halloween is over, elbowing all those fake pumpkins and plastic skulls off the shelves and squatting there until well after New Years when it gets dragged kicking and screaming into the half price bins.

Canadians seem to be less religious on the whole, so let’s hope most people don’t fall for it.

Sure, that’s why you never see any churches anywhere. Oh wait, you do - everywhere.

I too can shoot superheated air at my enemies, especially if I have been eating kale.

“The house is a bit of a dump to be honest, but the rent is a real bargain.”

Aw. Hope you feel better soon.

A little of H, a little of F.

I think after ~13,000 years we can safely consider them indigenous.

I’m pretty sure it was posted here somewhere, I remember seeing it.

Shotty or shitty, that is the question.

So, if a person needed the services of one of these teams, how would they get in touch? Asking for a friend…

I hope some move to Saskatchewan. We could really use them.
