I’ve got to say, I’m loving the mental image of 7 and 8 year old Brownies going off on a Bison hunt!

I was never able to be a Brownie, as my family was too poor, but man, I was so jealous of you guys, for all the cool things you got to do!

I DO remember making bannock (and fresh butter!) in school though… yum. Did you know that there are two restaurants in Edmonton that specialize in making burgers on bannock? One of the cool bits of info I’ve already obtained from this project. Now, I’m kind of obsessed with the idea…

Great blog post!

Never heard of bannock as a child but now discovering it. Great story.

You were a BROWNIE! You brought back so many little brownie memories I had completely forgotten. Not happy ones, sadly. I loved being a brownie and the little gold pin I still cherish. My costume is long gone. Not sure I earned one badge. But maybe one or two. I had great parents, but they didn’t support this “joining” and didn’t support anything I did within the organization. The fall of grade 2 – my first year – I had to collect leaves and make a nature booklet, identifying them all, and I just could not. I tried. I cried. I collected and pressed so many beautiful leaves, and had them all ready to place in my book… but wasn’t allowed to go to the park where there was a greater variety of leaves. I was missing some important leaves, and could not identify them all by myself…. and it was just clear to me I was going to fail. I begged for help… but, then, I just quit as I couldn’t face the failure. Interestingly, one of my daughters achieved her Canadian Chord – and the other stopped after Brownies and just wasn’t interested in going into Guides. Ah, so it is.
And bannock… have never made it. Have definitely eaten it, and love the stories of it. And, yes, even the precious bannock has been transformed into an ugly fast food. Fortunately, there are communities that keep the authentic versions alive. I yearn so much to learn more about aboriginal cuisine, and it is just so difficult to access. :)

I remember the brownies and the scouts got together and the boys were given the task of getting our hotdogs for us. I had never had one before in my life. Such a deprived childhood. No pizza. No Chinese.

I have always loved everything Japanese. I am certain I am a reincarnated Geisha. One lifetime of restraint and control has made me the reckless hedonist that I am in this one.
