I’m going to throw myself into a maple syrup -induced coma any moment now. A happy sugar coma.
I tend to do that when I go home to Canada. All those foods you associate with growing up? Splurge time. All dressed potato chips.
Ketchup chips.
Reece's pieces.
Proper lemonade.
Summer harvest pie.
Sour peach candies.
Baby carrots (the tiny little smooth type sold in a bag. Dipped in ranch dressing.)
Raspberries. I've breathed in a container a day.
Curd cheese. *squeak!*
Snow peas.
... you get the picture.
As for that maple syrup? I was visiting Lanark County for a bit. "Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario".
So really? Totally in my element.
And now, after 3 weeks of gorging, I find myself waddling back onto the plane.
Adios, Canada. I'll be home to see you again soon xx
