Thank you so much for including my Grandma’s Pie post Gail! I appreciate it!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for that, Gail. It’s an event I wish the mainstream media had picked up!
It is a good story. To my knowledge, the only newspaper that carried the story was L’Écho de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Québec) in August 2014. I featured it in the week’s crème de la crème, but the article is no longer available on the newspaper’s website.
