This morning, Marc and I joined my friend Mandeep and a group from Foreign Affairs to Papineauville, Quebec to a Caban a Sucre (Sugar Shack). This is a Quebec tradition involving horses, maple taffy and a lot of really good food. We had eggs, oreilles de cris (Christ's ears), baked beans, crepes and sugar pie...everything covered with maple syrup. I learned that maple syrup starts off quite watery, and once they boil off the water, the thicker, brown syrup remains. See here for pictures.

Deb's B-day dinner
Last night, a group of us went out for dinner in Little Italy to Il Piccolino's to celebrate Deb's birthday. Deb had the falafal, oh no, I mean the farfalle with brandy sauce. See here for pics.
