    We are on some e-mail list together and he is not especially active on
    those. Probably busy staying warm. Yellowknife is in Canada's "deep-
    freeze". Not to mention he has grandchildren and great-grandchildren to
    make life interesting.

    Title: Aunt Ellen's Cornish Pasties
    Categories: British, Steak, Jw, Pies, Tnt
    Yield: 1 Batch

    Pie crust
    Cubed round steak
    Onions & potatoes
    Salt and pepper

    AUNT ELLEN NOTT'S CORNISH PASTY RECIPE

    Aunt Ellen was born in 1851 and was 85 years old when
    she taught me [Mabel Weller] (in Cornwall 1938) to make
    pasties. I like to think that she had been taught by her
    mother.

    The ingredients are simple: pie crust, cubed round
    steak, onions and potatoes, salt and pepper. Turnip or
    leeks can be used for a change of flavour. All
    ingredients are raw.

    Roll out pie crust and cut into rounds or ovals about
    the size of a butter plate. On one half of the pie crust
    arrange, in this order, a few slices of potato, a layer
    of onion, a pile of steak and the salt and pepper.

    Moisten the edge of the crust around the filling, and
    fold the bare crust over. Seal the edge very well or the
    onion juices will run out and make the pasty stick to
    the baking dish. Cut two vents in the top.

    Bake @ 400°F/205°C for about an hour.

    Modern pasties seem to be made with leftovers: ground up
    cooked meat and left over assorted vegetables mixed
    together in a pastry which is joined in a thick roll at
    the top. This was reported by recent visitors to the
    U.K.

    Yes. Between its remoteness and interesting name, I have always been
    curious about visiting there. I am also one of the few people I know who
    is more interested in visiting the Artic Ocean than the Atlantic or
    Pacific, so there is that. :D

    Go for it. As long as you have no "fear of flying". It's an agonisingly
    long road trip. From whatr Jim has posted over the years Yelowknife
    gets largish numbers of Asian touristers come to see the Aroura Borealis.

    And it has a vibreant upscale dining scene.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Creton > Pierre Lambert
    Categories: Canadian, Pork, Heirloom, Spreads, Breakfast
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 lb Ground Pork
    2 tb Bacon fat; divided
    1 md Onion
    1 cl Garlic
    1 pn Cinnamon
    1 pn Cloves
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
    1 tb Beef stock or milk; or more

    Mince onion and garlic finely, then grind in a mortar and
    pestle until pureed.

    In a large skillet, add 1 tb bacon fat and gently fry the
    ground pork. Add the pureed onion and garlic together with
    the spices and continue to cook. Take off the fire.

    After mixture cools, press the mixture through a sieve to
    form a puree. Add the beef stock or milk so the mixture is
    spreadable.

    Put the mixture into jars and add a small layer of melted
    bacon fat over the top to seal and add extra flavour.
    Refrigerate until used.

    Serve on crackers as a snack or on toast for a hearty
    breakfast.

    This recipe is reconstructed by Roslind Minault from
    childhood memories of how her grandfather used to make it
    on the family farm in Rocky Lane, Alberta. The concept
    originated in Quebec and is distinctly French-Canadian.

    My thing is that I like to drive because I like to see what everything
    looks like... to take in the small towns along the way. You don't get much
    of that in a plane.

    And it has a vibreant upscale dining scene.

    That is good to know!
