> Find a lot of great tasty indian recipes:

Do you have any good Indian recipes which use year
old moldy government commodity cheese, stale macaroni,
canned spam, weevil infested flour and powdered milk?

Perhaps some recipes written for open fire or wood
burning stove usage? We do not have electricity nor
natural gas. We do have stream and well water, though.

What's wrong with fat-free powdered milk?

Cruelty. Cruelty to animals. Your fat-free milk is
produced by skeleton skinny cows which are constantly
kept near starvation so they will produce fat-free milk
which typically comes from a fat-free cow's teat in a
powder form, much like elderly people fart old dust.

Milk shakes come from California earthquake cows.

Ice cream comes from Eskimo cows.

Cottage cheese comes from cellulite cows.

Sour cream comes from old cranky cows.

Eggnog comes from rooster fetish cows.

Crème fraîche comes from drunk cows.

Clabber, hmm.. well, let's skip that one.

Nothing -- we used it to mark the lines on our soccer field (in Gemany, ca.
1947).

Wrong Indians....

On the other hand, I think my stomach has recovered enough from my problem
earlier this year that I'd like a nice Navajo taco (suitable for AUE discussion
since it's usually made with mutton)....r

Ah, sheep.  It must soon be time for another SDC, in which
understanding the questions, let alone the answers, inevitably proves
the woolliness of my mind.

Okay, so it's the sandwiches and the stews that are made with lamb, not mutton:

This place is pretty good...the food, the decor, the staff, the music, and most
of the clientele are Navajo...a little bit of the Rez right in the middle of
Mesa....r

Just looking at those photographs, my butt gained twenty pounds.

Of course, there is American Indian magic. Hard to find,
fry bread dessert.

Move to the very bottom of your page. Find "Authentic Food"
and click. If a fry bread dessert does not show on the new
page, move to the top and click "Authentic Food" and look.
Finding a native dessert is a bit tricky, as we would have;
those buttons behave differently, each time, much like me.

If none of that trickery works, then click "Home" and check.

You will know when you have found your way to fry bread dessert;
drool will begin dripping on your keyboard.

Fry bread! The best of breads.

Fish.  You make up a mess of spam, spam, spam, spam, Kraft Dinner, and
spam.  You wrap this in leaves and bury it in the ground, building a
fire over it.  While the fire is burning down, you play a game of
soccer, using milk powder to mark the lines of play and weevils as
cautionary tokens (flour weevils are Yellow Cards. and milk weevils
are the universally-dreaded White Cards).

When the fire is down to coals, you catch some fish in the stream,
using yellow cards as bait, and cook and eat them in the usual way.
Next day, you move far, far away, to another part of the country; you
don't come back to the area until the following year, when you site
the latrine where the fire was.

Almost. Sometimes we will rub our house cats with
balloons then use our cats and jumper cables to
charge our pickup truck batteries.

What? Those bozo feds didn't send you balloons?

With each shipment of old leftover commodity foods,
you know, the food with expired dates, recalled
for being toxic, food the 99 cent stores could not
sell, well, with each shipment the feds toss in
balloons, mirrors, gum ball machine magic rings,
marbles, Bic lighters, Groucho Marx glasses,
tiny magnifying glasses and such, to be sure we
are happy natives. I love trinkets.

You do not understand! I so want to fit in, so want to

Ah, that reminds me of the guy whom my Kiowa buddy Johnny knifed at the
Indian Fair in Anadarko.  I wasn't there to stop him.  Then again, he might
have killed me instead, if I'd tried.  His girlfriend wanted to see some
blood and to get the foul deed finished right.

I wonder if Johnny is still in jail, after fifty years.

     The Churra was the very first breed of domesticated sheep in the
New World. Its importation to New Spain by the Spanish dates back to
the 16th century where ...
     www.navajo-churrosheep.com/sheep-origin.html

     It seems that the first American sheep were Spanish imports:

     Disdained in colonial Spain as a rough, semi-wild, unrefined
sheep, the churra (now locally churro) were shipped off with explorers
and colonists bound for New Spain.

     They moved into New Mexico with several entradas:

     1540 - Coronado (food supply)

     1581 - Rodríguez (food supply)
