There are so much of our histories that as gone from our society. One of them is the Cabane a sucre, made in round wood logs, the center of the cabane was occupied by a big stove with an immense container on top of the stove.

One breakfast from the cabane a sucre was Queue de Castor, or (crepe Suzette) (do not take it for eggs Suzette) ( this is not the same meals)the dough was form into a Beavers' tail and cook in oil. The oil bucket was on the side of the stove for meals.

then finished cooking in the big maple boiler on the top of the stove, and baste in a thick Maple syrup that would later turn into (tire d'erable) maple tuffy. The fun of the community that gathered around the cabane for one of our traditional meals, is gone, the laughter of the children's echoing in the woods, and the gossip of the past winter, who was there and whom did not make it in the cold weather of our country. The horses that where always ready and able to go, with the big wooden slay in the back. When nite began to fall everybody returned to their houses to find warmed.

From a day full of activities for young and old.

At night only the man stayed in the Cabane and the stove roared all night, in the shade of the moon.

i will be posting the recipe for the Queue de castor (beaver tail recipe)
