Happy Canada Day!

Butter Tarts, Charleston, SC

Happy Canada Day to one and all! With dual citizenship I get to celebrate both holidays. It was a good excuse to bake a batch of butter tarts and deliver them around the hospital. I think I have some converts! Someone asked for the recipe and I said if they googled, "Butter Tarts Canada" they'd find as many versions as we have of shrimp and grits!

Just no nuts though. I am firmly on the raisin team. 

Y'all enjoy some butter tarts, eh!

My friend Eugene became an American citizen today. Congrats Eugene! He invited some of his friends to stop by Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ  this evening for a celebratory drink. The only really Canadian thing I could think to take him were some Butter Tarts so I cheated with frozen tart shells and whipped up a batch.

Eugene works in the medical field, was an early Charleston blogger, is a member of photography and ham radio clubs and groups so it was an interesting mix of people and I was pleased to finally meet his wife Connie. I gave Eugene my quick trip on being bilingual - all he has to do is say "eh" and "y'all" in the same sentence. I do it myself all the time!
