    Default Made it then ate it!

    It was cold here this morning, so I decided to burn some tree branches that I had piled up from a ice storm that we had a couple of weeks ago. A little while after I got the fire going, my wife brought me a cup of coffee. We stood near the fire drinking our coffee and talking whenever the subject of bannock came up.
    My wife went inside and mixed some up from a recipe that I got off of the Internet and while she did that I cut a branch from a poplar tree. She brought it out and we put it on the tree limb and then I proped it up over the fire. After a while of baking and turning it was a golden brown and we decided that it was done. My wife got us another cup of coffee, and we sat there and drank our coffee and eat the bannock until it was all gone. It was quite tasty and we had a good time. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a cold morning.
    Take only what you need, and leave the rest.

    Bannock does not keep well, like any other biscuit. After the second day it's better to use it as a paving stone and make some fresh.

    Fred Bear used to stop while out still hunting. He's find a spot under a tree where there was a good view and build a small fire and use a forked stick to toast a sandwich he had been carry in his pack and make a cup of tea as his lunch. On a cold day afield a hot lunch can so totally revive you it is beyond price. As Fred Bear was actually one of my mentors in my youth(yes I did actually know him) I have also followed that tradition. Any food cooked over an open fire under the glorious sky is special; but one shared with a loved one is particulatly wonderous.

    I love Fred Bear stories. Don't know what banock is.
