Those of you who have read "Swallow and Amazons" will be aware of pemmican cakes. Charles and I have just finished reading "Swallows and Amazons". We have been discussing making pemmican cakes and cooking outside. It had been put on our holiday list and so today we made pemmican cakes. We make the cakes ( with luncheon meat) and as we had decided we could not light a fire outside near a house we borrowed a fuel stove ( along with friendly native alias grandad). The cooking was a great success and the friendly native was invited into Charles' fort in the native trees at the side of the house. Baby Vicki ( alias Christopher) was in the backpack to avoid any issues with stoves and hot pans, had his in the backpack. A pleasant time on a day otherwise taken up with getting extra supplies to the golf course and sorting out the non-printing eftpos machine ( wrong tape)

Going to Museums in Alaska and the Yukon we read alot about huge ammounts of Pemmican being carted about the place, but still don't really know what it is... some kind of preserved meat? Not very yummy i expect. You had to have 1 ton of supplies if you wanted to cross the Chilkoot Pass into Canada, the mounties were checking at the border to make sure people had enough to last them through to the Klondike.
