Speaking of grits, I made my mom bring me boxes of them when she came to visit us in Germany. I rationed those bad boys out.

My husband remembers grits from when he visited the south as a kid... He had to explain to me what it meant.
Chicken pot pie, on the other hand, I certainly know well enough. I have one in the freezer right now.

I will never understand the American practice of eating bacon with syrup. It seems so...wrong.
Nobody has a Simon from Firefly icon yet? He's my fave! Well, him and Book. |

Ugh--NOOOO! My bacon is not allowed to touch my syrup--blech! Then again, I don't like any foods touching what they aren't supposed to. I even dip my pancakes in syrup half the time, so it doesn't run all over the plate. Plus, soggy pancakes = yuck.
Yes, I'm weird. Deal with it.

I only eat my bacon with syrup if they just happen to mingle on my plate.
As for grits, I'm a butter, salt, pepper and cheese girl. Sugar in them sounds disgusting!

Aha, so the bacon doesn't go *in* the syrup? That makes a bit more sense. I have seen pictures of the bacon+syrup+pancakes combo and just assumed they were eaten all together.

So I just found out that there will be a maple festival in the neighborhood right next to mine right here in the city!!
Family Day Saturday, April 17th. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Join us at the Richelieu Park, 300 Des Pères Blancs, Ave. for a fun filled day. Start with a delicious pancake breakfast, maple syrup and taffy while you enjoy continuous live entertainment from the CHEZ Mobile. Kids will love inflatable structures, Snow dogs, Little Ray’s Reptile Adventure, face painter, a story at Ottawa’s public library or a trolly ride. Visit the Cité collégiale Sugar shack pastry sale. Free admission to the Park. 1 pancake $3, 2 panckes $5, taffy $2. Now you know where to find me on the 17th of April!!b *bounces*

The 4th Sunday in March is when Sugar Shacks open across Maine. Usually they have events ranging from small (syrup tastings on ice cream) to big (tastings, craft fairs, live music). This is usually when people stock up on the Maple Syrup for the year. There are maps printed with all the locations of participating shacks and people usually go to 2-5 of them.

Mmm. Also: good morning.
