Okay, some things are as funny as I remember them. The Carol Burnett Show with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, the Rowan and Martin鈥檚 Laugh-In. Catch them on Youtube. Lily Tomlin, starring as Ernestine, the telephone operator-鈥漮ne ringy dingy (snort), two ringy dingies (snort)!! Is this the person to whom I am speaking?鈥�- triggered a whole series of memories. The party-line! It was a time before farm homes were entertained by television.

The Town of Neepawa is conducting a survey about the upcoming budget. They did it last year as well and it鈥檚 a good thing. Having served on Neepawa council twice and having attended countless council, community and committee meetings over decades of time, I can appreciate why the council is doing the survey. In one way or another, councils in all towns and RMs conduct surveys one on one or in the coffee shop or in this case with an actual survey.

Today, farmers are at the front lines of a battle, in a war they didn鈥檛 start. As Canadians become more removed from where their food comes from, food production methods are increasingly being used as a tool by companies looking for any edge they can find in a crowded and competitive market. Recently, Canadian cattle producers have found themselves in the crosshairs of such marketing campaigns.

We have covered a lot of territory in 45 weeks of recipes and history. This has been fun for me and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. From the First Nations people who helped the settlers by showing them how to use the indigenous foods and medicines, the Metis who adapted their foods to both cultures, to the settlers who came bringing their own heritage recipes with them. The first settlers were a hardy bunch who often had to make do with what little they had thus adapting their recipes to create something new. Everyone had enough for one more person should someone drop in unannounced whether they had a little or a lot. Prairie people were just that way, very hospitable.
