I WAS going to wait to post this.  I WAS in a bit of a funk yesterday over the Virginia Tech tragedy and posts etc. But I am now feeling better after the support I have received so, here goes. 

As a Canadian (and we all know I'm a proud one) I live in a country with a diverse culture.  I am part of the English speaking population of my country and unlike many of my English speaking country-folk I embrace everything about my French speaking country men.  Especially, traditional Quebec cooking.  I love tourtiere and maple everything!  But my all time favourite is Sugar Pie (tarte sucre).  A warning to those who love sweets: Take it slow.  This pie can become extremely addictive (I made one a week when I pregnant with my forth).

This is not my standard recipe but it is a close second.  My regular recipe has made it into the abyss of filing that I should be doing.  This recipe comes from a Canadian Standard:

Canadian Living from their Country Cooking Cookbook.
