Pemmican - what is that?

Ever since I had my first bite of Pemmican I have been in love. Now, I know Nourishing Traditions has a recipe, but I have always bought mine from US Wellness Meets.

The other day I found this great PDF on how to make it. Read below to also learn what it is and how to store it. It is perfect for putting in those boxes just in case a hurricane is coming our way.

Enjoy!

Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?

Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?
This is for all the germ conscious folks
that worry about using cold water to clean.


John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather
in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan


After spending a great evening chatting the night away,

the next morning John's grandfather prepared

breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.



However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate,

and questioned his grandfather asking,


'Are these plates clean?'


His grandfather replied,


'They're as clean as cold water can get em.

Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!'



For lunch the old man made hamburgers.


Again, John was concerned about the plates,

as his appeared to have tiny specks around

the edge that looked like dried egg and asked,


'Are you sure these plates are clean?'


Without looking up the old man said,


'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as

clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you

fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!'


Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town

and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog

started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass.


John yelled and said,
'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'.


Without diverting his attention from the football game

he was watching on TV, the old man shouted.....


'Coldwater, go lay down now, ya hear me!'
