"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I had a maple pecan porter. It was, as ever, not quite mapley enough.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds fabulous, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was, as ever, not quite mapley enough.

The answer to this problem is, I suspect, on your shelf next to the pancake mix.

As a kid, down on Olvera Street, my Dad used to buy me maple sugar candy, that was pure molded maple sugar in the form of maple donkeys and maple men & women and maple rabbits and maple ducks. Can't get much maplier than that. Don't know if anyone but a little kid can stand something that sweet.

I loved them as a kid. I wonder if we would still love them today? I know someone served me applejacks recently which was a favorite cereal as a kid, and was - disappointed.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You can get those maple sugar candies at pretty much every place that sells souvenirs in Maine and Vermont. I still like them, but I've got to eat them pretty slowly, or else it's too much sugar.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
