The pasta dish the day before was just sautéed lean ground beef, onions, garlic some spices and at the end a tub of cottage cheese and some chopped kalamata olives [on my portion]. Nice fresh salad with balsamic vinaigrette topped it off nicely.
The latest incident involving an RCMP officer seems to be creating some rumblings around town. It is just another incident in what seems like a growing problem with the way some officers treat woman both on a personal level and a professional level.
Some people are advocating replacing the RCMP with either community police or the RNC. Some year’s back I asked the Community Government [council then] to look at having some local police force formed, it was more as a supplement to the RCMP, seems as usual things have to get much worse before anything is done about it.
Still this time it looks like some pro active action has to come into play. I think the Community Government is meeting with the RCMP today, we need more than platitudes and namby pamby weasel words words from certain politicians.

Once more you bedevil the taste buds with another posting. Both dishes look great. Hocks are a challenge for sure. I once stewed a pile of them in a crock for many hours on low; after browning them in the pan. With onions and a bit of garlic, and a lot of white pepper. Then served them over steamed rice with Sweet Bean pods and Crowder peas with Okra. It must have been ok, the boys cleaned out a 7 quart pot of it. Nice and warm peppered pork without burn of being too spicy hot. I thought I recalled reading in a NG pdf file that they were going to hire their own police and expand the judiciary. I take it that did not happen. But then again that would probably take quite a while to train someone for.
I tried some okra from Northern last week, sort of a neutral taste I thought, but may not have cooked it correctly.
Like most things NG the take over of policing is along way down the road, I do not think taking over the judicial is part of the plan, but could be wrong on that.
There are two communities in Nunatsiavut that have aboriginal policing under the auspices of NG, but as you say a lot of training would have to take place before anything further is accomplished in that area. Like most things NG why do today that can be put off until another day.
Okra is a funny veggie. Most either like it or hate it. The Mrs. prefers it fried in a cornmeal batter. I prefer it in gumbos, stews or mixed with tomatoes or beans. I normally place them in a dish whole about midway through cooking. They are more of a taste complimentor, although I do enjoy Okra served on it's own from time to time. Served alone, I cook it slowly with some onion, salt and pepper to taste and some bacon bits or ham. If you do not like the gooey part of Okra, a bit of lemon juice helps, or any other citric acid type additive like tomatoes. Stir frying it with a smidgen of sugar works too.
