Maple Syrup and BBSes
Yes, it's been a good long while since I've posted anything... I'm the type of person who, if I don't have anything to say, says nothing... :) Okay, those who know me might argue the point, but I'm still not the type of person who talks for the sake of hearing her own voice...
There have been some little things happening, but nothing really worth blogging about. DD is now 11 months old. The big oh-one is around the corner. :) DS had spring break last week. I bought Tupperware. Yes, it's expensive, but I love it. It was stuff I wanted anyways, and it was on sale... The family went to a cabane à sucre on Friday...
I *love* going to a cabane à sucre. I eat... No, correct that: I gorge. Eggs, ham (which normally I don't like), bacon, cretons, pea soup (again, something I don't usually like), bread, beans, cole slaw, homemade pickles... All drowned in maple syrup. And the desserts: sugar/maple pie, grand-pères, crêpes... Topped off with crème de la crème, maple taffy on snow... I know, it's nothing fancy. I can (and have) made all this stuff at home. Except the grand-pères. I should find a recipe for that... But there's just something about the atmosphere. Deep down, I'm a good little Québecoise... :)
On another note, if you used to be a BBSer in the Montreal area, you'll want to check out http://montrealbbs.com/xoops/.
From the main page: "This web site has been created in order to re-unite all the users of what was once a great communication tool --- the BBS (Bulletin Board System), and particularly the users of bulletin board systems that operated in the 514 area code (Montreal and surrounding regions)."
