Back in the early 80's, I lived in Vanderhoof BC. I befriended a gentleman that lived south of Vanderhoof approximately 60km's,

He lived very much like these people on the current Alaska reality shows. Off grid. Log cabin, no electricity, no running water, wood stove for heating etc.

When he cooked his dinner, it was always fried. Did not matter what it was. When he was done frying the meat, he ALWAYS made gravy with the meal. Some days I think that he drank it like soup. Said that he always wanted something hot in his stomach.

So, here is the $64,000 question. Is this a common thing with people living in the bush ? Making gravy even if you have nothing to put the gravy on ?


James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
