Yesterday evening, we joined some friends and went to the cabane a sucre (sugar shack). Basically this is a place where you can stock up on a years worth of sugar! In one sitting!
The menu consisted of pea soup, baked beans, scrambled eggs, sausage, oreilles de Christ (thick deep fried bacon), ham, potatoes, pancakes, lots of maple syrup and sugar pie. I think traditionally, if you live in the province of Quebec, you HAVE to go once a year.
Maelie enjoyed herself, ate LOTS and even with a full tummy, she couldn't wait to get the maple taffy of the snow. In the end she could only handle a few licks of it as it was very sweet.
After a short walk in the woods and a bit of playing on the playground, it was time to go inside for some dancing. Maelie danced until she could no longer walk or talk or stay awake for that matter (which for us was much earlier that the rest of the bunch! 9:45 pm!)
We had a wonderful time and will probably go back again.... next year! :)
