While living in Inuvik, located in Canada’s Arctic, I met a wonderful lady Barb Coote. Not only was she the receptionist at the hair salon I worked at at the time. She was everybody’s friend. Well known for her baking and sewing skills, Barb would seem to have a solution to any of our problems. Our Inuvik Mom we called her. A very special Lady indeed. I was fortunate enough that she passed along this recipe before I moved back home to Newfoundland.

Inuvik is a wonderful place such diverse culture, The people, the land, the animals, the aurora borealis aka Northern lights, I could go on. They even have real reindeer for their annual Santa Clause parade. I Love it.

Tropicana visited once. They thought they would bring some sunlight to the darkness. It was spectacular. I’ll share a video below. I remember I was on my way to work when they were setting up.
