we were the nearest one was 90 minutes away so all the local
producers had a hard time. The New place has 3 of them within
about a half hour due to density of producers. I can just
imagine what transport times are like in Alaska. The good part
is that you do still have a large hunting population used to
dressing carcasses so come a crisis there is some solutions.
That doesn't help the grocery stores any though. Can a local
butcher still age and cut the meat if it's already slaughtered?
Not for resale but for locals?That is how the local hunters do
it here mostly. Hope you get through that cut of meat.

I only got my Sous Vide machine out from my storage Conex a
couple of weeks ago. It's highly Energy Efficient and will work
great even with a small Solar Array. You ALWAYS get your meat
PERFECTLY done exactly how you prefer it. If I still had
motivation, I would open a Sous Vide restaurant. Well, maybe
not due to the staffing issues and supply chain problems.
We do have one meat processor here in the Valley, Matanuska
Meats. I used them twice to make Moose sausage. They do
Charcuterie also. Alaska Seafood & Sausage is even bigger down
in Anchorage. All the native villages have people who process
their own meat, it's very common out in the bush. The only real
issue is having a USDA ticket to sell commercially, not the
actual ability of the population to do the job.

Not sure. They probably would have charged extra for it. They
charged extra for a pot of tea. I passed on the tea

Shortage of the Day: Urea
DIR By: RE
Date: December 7, 2021, 7:04 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I dropped this in Food because Urea is a component of
Fertilizer. It has other important uses though, particularly as
an additive to Diesel Fuel. So it would have fit in the Energy
thread also.

School apologises after ‘prison food’ Christmas lunch goes viral

Looks like the food at the Gulag and from Meals on Wheels. Hard
to imagine school food is worse than it was when I was a kid,
but this is putrid. Pack Bag Lunches!

that is the most grey lunch I've ever seen. The is rarely a
lunch program in Canadian schools. There is what they call the
breakfast club which is a tray of food anyone can pick from for
those without. It's sometimes annoying when our kids grab from
it and leave some of our lunch behind but I've made peace with
it when I hear horror stories about what many kids bring or
don't bring to school for food. The girls had an awesome festive
dinner this year turkey, gravy, veg, stuffing, and carrot cake
... Delivered by volunteers, paid for by the Kiwanis club; I
love small towns.

Microwaveable TV Dinners are far superior. My Thanksgiving
Dinner was my traditional Swanson Hungry Man TV Dinner with
Turkey slices, stuffing mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, and
was quite edible and looked OK. I was able to finish it over
two days. It's cheaper than the ~$5 the parents paid for the
garbage the kids were served. Bad enouigh that prisoners and
old cripples get served this stuff, but serving it to kids as
a"Christmas Lunch" is beyond disgusting.

High Fertilizer Prices: The History and Future
DIR By: RE
Date: December 18, 2021, 7:33 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The question now is, how quickly will high prices and shortage
of fertilizer turn into actual food scarcity and even more
rapidly rising prices? One year can probably be withstood, but
a second year in a row would be a killer, literally. Will a
solution be found? Place your bets here.

Here in Alaska, we have a huge surplus of NG. They still flame
it off from the oil wells because there is no way to ship it
out. What we need to do is build a fertilizer plant on the
North Slope! Then we can ship tons of the stuff out via the
Alaska Railroad! KACHING!
