Holidays
Easter and Tartan Pie….
Easter and Tartan Pie. Our signature Tartan Pie is a household favorite. All year around satisfying that turkey fix, but also for holidays it’s becoming the way to serve holiday dinner. What’s better than turkey dinner, already done for you, so you can spend time with your family and friends.
There’s a catch though….we really, really, REALLY recommend you call ahead to ensure you get your pie for Easter. We had a run on Tartan’s last year at Easter, we’ve planned to have extras for the weekend. And though Derek’s been working hard to get extras in the freezer, they’re selling as fast as he makes them.
Hope to see you at the pie shop!

Valentines Day
I was going to write about the history of valentines day. During my research, however, I found a really good site that sums it up, and the beauty of the internet is that I can just provide the link http://www.history.com/content/valentine/history-of-valentine-s-day. No sense in re-inventing the wheel.
Valentines day has been one of those hit and miss days for me. Sometimes it has been amazing. Grade 12 valentines day was memorable, I opened my locker to a dozen long stemmed red roses, and to this day I have no idea how they were placed in there! My favorite was a few years ago when Valentines day fell on fire practice night. My boyfriend wanted to do something special, and had planned a special dinner for when I returned home from practice. Of course, it was a fun filled night at the fire hall and we ran late in finishing creating a very anxious boyfriend. On arriving home I found the nicest meal he has ever made for me!
Valentines Day and food is a great combination, and it doesn’t have to be about Chocolate (though I love it when it is!). It’s a day that gives an excuse to try something new, it doesn’t have to be costly nor extravegant. Baby vegetables are a nice touch on a valentines plate, as are cuts of meat that cook up nice when stuffed or rolled. Add a nice bottle of wine and your set. And then there’s dessert…and that’s my favorite food of the night. You can’t go wrong with choosing a dessert for a valentines dinner, one quick search on the web and there’s oodles of ideas. My dessert this year will be a Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake. I won’t be able to sleep after having that much chocolate in the evening, but it will be worth it.
