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.
Don't I get a cookie?

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bong. Happy new year everyone! (It begins...)

I get those when I visit places like Old Sturbridge Village (and brought back a bunch from my trip to Vermont, making sure they were Made there). You nibble at one really slowly to let the maple-y flavor melt on your tongue. I can make one last for ten minutes.

Best maple-flavored food I've ever had was a maple soft-serve ice cream in Vermont. Holy cow, I had no idea soft serve could be SO good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy New Year, billytea!
The maple candies make me think of lobster lollipops, which are totally iconic and also disgusting.
I slept in! But still feel like I could have slept more. Odds I stay up until midnight tonight are low.

Argh, I can't find my employee badge. It was clipped to my waistband yesterday and I think I just forgot about it while I ran errands and didn't put it in its usual spot when I got home, but it's not clipped to yesterday's clothes anymore, and doesn't appear to have fallen off anywhere that makes sense. So annoying!
ETA: do they taste like lobster?
