Maple-flavoured coffee. Hmmm. We've got some maple syrup in the cupboard (for putting on porridge) - is this addictive? :)

[ewein2412]

I definitely am addicted to it.

You have lived in far more interesting places that I have.

I love maple syrup (the proper stuff from trees), but have never been a huge fan of maple coffee. I do have a maple tea (a black tea flavored with maple) that's tasty.

[ewein2412]

mmm, I like maple tea too. but I am a maple freak. I like maple sugar cotton candy.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

Well, maple sugar cotton candy is awesome. I used to get it at the Farm Show.

While my mom lived in New Hampshire, we went out to eat a place that made maple milkshakes, which were awesome, and we also went to some breakfast diner place that had maple sugar candy by the cash register instead of mints.

OH! I had a maple milkshake once, in an ice cream parlor in Hollywood. It was AMAZING.

Sent your child into the woods with a compass and a stopwatch?! Are you mad? Oh, wait. It's the UK and, therefore, thoroughly civilized. Kind of like hiking in Germany, where after an hour's hike, you are likely to find a beer garden at the top of the hill -- there may even be a funicular to get supplies up the cliff.

What did you do to celebrate Pi Day?

[ewein2412]

it all ended in tears. She got lost and wasn't given a chance to eat lunch.

they were doing an orienteering course out on the grounds of one of the posh boarding schools nearby!

Pi Day?

I have been sewing tomato costumes all day for Mark's school play.
