Monday I made meat pies (tourtieres). This is traditional french canadian winter food and served at Xmas in most households...
You can buy pretty good ones, but since I got the bestest (yes bestest) dough recipe in the world...Thanks to my friend and ex-collegue Chantal Cardinal (and one of the most accomplished cook I know...) I just have to make some....They truly are a joy to eat (for us meat eaters). The filling is a mix of ground beef and pork and bacon and leeks and garlic,onions and herbs and spices....
Usually I make the small ones because we are only two and I give some to my Dad
and to my step daughter (who was a vegeterian at one point but could kill for some rib roast or proschiutto). This year I didn't find any small plates but a had a big bunch of new large foil plates...They came out perfect, so perfect actually I might need to make another batch!!!

I eat mine with green beans or broccoli and fruit ketchup!
Delightful....Next time I will show you today's snowstorm...TTFN
