[LMB] OT: RE: sugar maples

Where do you live?



The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one. H. L. Mencken

I've been known to use it as a sweetener in tea, and even in meat loaf.

I wish maple sugar candy was easier to find around here. It's one of the 
Best Foods Ever. Better than chocolate, maybe. There used to be a store 
in our local mall that sold it, but they closed.  I bought a whole bunch 
when I was in Toronto for Worldcon back in 2003 (at the Sears in Eaton 
Centre), but of course that's all gone now, though I did make it last 
several months. (OK, 3. Well, 2 and a half.)  I think under current 
circumstances I'd have to mail order it. Fortunately I just got my 
income-tax refund!

And I can't let this thread go by without quoting the late great Roger 
Miller:

Roses are red, violets are purple
Sugar's sweet, and so's maple syrple.
