Mushroom picking
Lacterius Deliciosus - a narrow window of opportunity in the fall, to pick these delicious mushrooms when it isn't to warm or cold, and the dampness is just right. Yum!!!

mushroom feast
a little bit of garlic (or a lot!) and cooked in olive oil, this mushroom is amazing...

remote locations
Hey Marcy! I work from home (in Churchill, MB) remotely for 2 health regions. One is the Keewatin Yatthe Regional Health Authority which is located in Northern Saskatchewan - La Loche, Buffalo Narrow, Beauval and Ile a la Crosse. 2 hospitals and 2 primary health clinics. Then I also work for James Bay General Hospital - Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, and Moosonee Health Centres. So when I do an onsite visit to these places, I fly out of Churchill to Winnipeg then go west or east! Many little flights to get to either place. And an 8 hour bus ride from Saskatoon to Ile a la Crosse. It took me 5 flights from Churchill James Bay, and 6 flights on my way back. Not good for carbon foot print. Maybe one day they can fix at that. Nice to hear from you!!!
