Pumpkin pie sounds good.

I'm not really a cook but I try and I'm working on it and I'm trying different things. In the depths of winter last year I tried my hand at homemade butter tarts. I was born in Canada (they had enough sense to export me at an early age) and during visits to relatives I was exposed to butter tarts. Some Canadians take their butter tarts very seriously. What makes a good butter tart?

The same bakery that my grandmother bought butter tarts at many years ago in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario is still in business and I made the mistake of stopping by on a Sunday last year and they were closed! I won't make that mistake this year.

I don't know if I'll try making them again. They turned out pretty good but man oh man that took a lot of effort. Easier just to drive from Michigan into Canada. lol But comfort food, yeah man, that's some sugary buttery comfort food.
