Thank you for your nice words, Velva. I hope university will let us more spare time for the blog in 2012. Have a nice day!
Very interesting recipe. Why is it named St-Martins day potato casserole?
The recipe for this potato casserole is a traditional recipe from our region that is prepared originally on St. Martins day. To prepare a goose on that day is also verry popular. In a lot of municipalities around here you can take part in regional lotteries. The money is collected for the poor and the winner gets a goose.
Do you have that commemoration day for St. Martin in Quebec?
