Ah man jjohnwm never been to Manitoba, but rural BC old church lady food is pretty similar. Salads consist of cool whip, jello, mini marshmallows, and canned fruit and cottage cheese to make it healthy. Hot foods are mostly cassaroles containing lots of canned cream soups yet still are better with more salt. It's a terrible nostalgia for largely bad times.

Okay, that paints a picture. Manitobe hosts an extremely high percentage of Ukrainians, so typically a pot-luck or similar would include perogies, cabbage, perogies, kielbasa, kielbasa-and-cabbage, kielbasa-and-perogies, more perogies, cabbage rolls (usually with kielbasa)...and sometimes perogies!
And, being of Ukrainian heritage...I love it! When I lived in Ontario, I had to drive almost 80km one way to get to a place that produced what I considered to be acceptable kielbasa. Here in Manitoba, the local general store, less than 2 miles from my house, sells stuff that puts Ontario's best to shame. Don't even get me started on perogies...
The only problem is that sometimes we have to wait several days longer than ideal when we want to cut the grass; most mornings, the lawn glistens with a weird type of dew, which has recently been identified as atmospheric cholesterol.
Ooo used to be a lot of Ukrainians around where I grew up. They ran the local burger joint for years and their burgers were great, I normally got the cabbage rolls that were better. Later a butcher/sausage maker set up shop, liked their landjager better than the Germans. They lasted quite awhile before getting priced out, ten years longer than I did.
I should mow this morning but our dew is of the mountain variety and clogs everything.

Teriyaki grilled salmon and stuffed clams
How do you stuff a clam?
You mean you don't have a clam-stuffer?
Take out clam add breadcrumbs cheese and other stuff. Put back in clam and there you have it!
I see, i imagined you were somehow cutting the clam open and stuffing stuff inside it. I thought that would be hard to do with such a small slippery thing.
Made some sushi! Imitation crab, and assorted veggies. One had egg and tofu. Sushi is surprisingly cheap and easy to make when you buy imitation crab, which is about 4 bucks for 8 sticks.
