Dreaming of the Sugar Shack
Good news posted at the Seacoast Eat Local blog brought back fun child hood memories. New Hampshire's Maple Sunday is the weekend of March 29!
I've been thinking recently about how my parents always used to bundle me up to go to a local "Sugar Shack" for pancakes or waffles with gobs of butter and gobs of maple syrup.
I love maple syrup.
No, really, I do. Real maple syrup is the condiment of the foodie gods! Maple syrup on baked beans? Yum. Maple syrup on pancakes and bacon? A heart attack I'll risk! Maple syrup in chai and coffee? Delicious. Straight out of the bottle? Yeah, I've gone there.
The post reminded me that Matt has agreed to humor me and come to the Sugar Shack this year, so he can experience the fun. I say "humor me" because Matt prefers what I refer to as "that other CRAP" that occupies valuable fridge space. Log *shudder* Cabin. You see, Matt grew up from "away" (*cough, JERSEY, cough cough*) and doesn't comprehend the deliciousness that is real maple syrup. Apparently this is quite a debate among many people.
What's your favorite pancake topping?

Oh, hands down I'm all about the real maple syrup! But my man too will eat (and enjoy) that plastic-y tasting fake stuff! Oh, boys!
i have been really digging maple syrup in my coffee as i try to decrease the amount of regular sugar (it being "from away" and all) that I use. It only needs just the littlest bit but imparts such a good, rounded flavor!
