Eskimo ice cream

 Today the sixth grade class is using the scientific method with making akutaq, or Eskimo ice cream. They used to (and some still do) make it using whale blubber. Here someone is trying their different versions of akutaq and rating them.

It has been pretty cold the last few days (wind chill between -30 and -50) so we’ve had some pipes freeze around town. Last night we got a call that the whole town might lose water (it happened a few years ago and they spent a few months without running water and everyone had to use honey buckets, even at school). So my roommate and I quickly filled everything we could with water just in a case. Luckily, so far so good!
