> Happy Thanksgiving? Was I asleep for 2 months?
LOL
I don't think so but began to think I must have been... we celebrate Thanksgiving closer to harvest time... so the second Monday in October is the day we sacrifice turkeys and squash and pumpkins...
or in this house, while we do all that, my husband being from Ontario, we hope to have a partridge to put into a tourtiere (a French-Canadian meat pie), along with Nuns' Pie, a chicken pie from an old recipe the Ursuline Sisters devised in the early days of Champlain's Habitation where Quebec City is now, with "C" pie if we know a hunter with a bit of left-over game, venison, moose, etc., from last year, that he is willing to share...
"C" stands for Chausseur, or hunter ... and for dessert the old tarte au sucre, sugar pie from maple syrup....
when I get home Sunday evening it will be time to go into overdrive to get ready for Monday as the Nuns' Pie takes two days to get ready...
and this of course always adds to the mess in my head because I am always so homesick...
and it doesn't help...
