Is maple syrup produced in places other than the US and Canada?
I'm pretty sure sugar maples are a solely North American crop, but I could be wrong.
[eta: Maple Facts agrees:
The sugar maple (acer saccharum) is a slow growing hard wood tree. It can reach heights of 130 feet or more and live to be very old. Often times the truck of an old maple can be three or more feet in diameter. A tree this size, however, is extremely old. To place a single tap on a maple tree, the trunk must be at least 12 inches in diameter, a size taking 40 years for the tree to reach. Sugar maples are only found in one area of the world. This ranges from Southeast Canada, down into the Northeastern United States. Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maine, and as far west as Ohio all have sugar maples.
This is the only part of the world which has proper conditions for this tree though, and is therefore the only part of the world that can produce maple syrup. ]

Mmmm, custard and almond tart.
It's so nice out that I'm going to leave the housecleaning I was supposed to do today for tonight and go outside. Got to enjoy the good weather while I can!

How was Depp's performance, kat?
I actually thought everyone was kinda sleepwalking through the movie except Samantah Morton, who did a lot with a crap part. I felt like Depp didn't really get started until his character went all ugly syphilis(?) man, and then it was capital A ACTING. I'm not a fan of "look at me" acting, so. . .
The dude who played his boyfriend was very pretty and unknown to me, so there was that. And we went to the Angelika and had a fabulous pumpkin cheese bar. That was good.
Also, I would love for my normal sunday breakfast to consist of pancakes and maple syrup. But alas, my stove hasn't been on since my Christmas party.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Instead of delightful breakfast foods, I am now eating a greek candy bar.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I felt just as you did, Kat. although I liked Depp a teensy bit more. A horrible mess of a movie, though.

It wasn't that I disliked Depp, more so that I felt like he was phoning it in. He was relying on the fact that everyone knows that Johnny Depp is an impossibly sexy man, thus we'd think this character was as well without establishing it and selling it through, you know, acting, which is what he's getting paid to do. So sad, because it could've been a fabulous movie.
My girlfriend and I also had weird Big Daddy Kane flashes with the whole "How do you like me now?" moment at the end of the movie, which is not where I think the moviemakers were trying to take us. But there you go.
