A friend and fellow food lover in Quebec sent an e mail with descriptions of a meal, with pictures, from restaurant “Pied de Cochon sugar shack” just outside Montreal.

Very naughty of her really and it was not a meal she had partaken in but rather a friend of a friend.

Any way I countered with what I had on hand.

“No caribou” are the words most spoken in Northern Labrador of late. People going out for one, two, and up to three days and not even a sign.

A large group has headed north again this weekend, up as far as Hebron and places in between. See what comes out of that.
