Maine Maple Sugar Days

March 21, 2012

Guest post by Julie Saunders

The fourth Sunday of March is traditionally Maine Maple Sugar Days.  Some of the small Maple Syrup producers hold “Open Houses” to the general public to show people how Maple Syrup is made, and they give out free samples of maple syrup over vanilla ice cream.  Of course, they are trying to sell their syrup and maple candies, and everyone has a good time!

We love REAL maple syrup, and enjoy going to a local sugar house to see the demonstrations and taste the free samples! I hope that the weather is good this Sunday so we can go out Sugar Shacking!

Local Wine

March 15, 2012

Tonight I got a chance to taste some of the local wine at one of the networking meetings that I try to attend in town as often as I can. This time the Chamber of Commerce had a great selection of wine and beer along with the most wonderful finger foods that I have had in a long time. It was supposed to have been held outside, they had the place all set up looking good and right before it started the clouds opened up and man did it pour, so we all had to cram inside the bank lobby that it was held at. It was still a good time, I met some pretty cool people and saw a few people that I hadn’t seen in a while, so it was worth getting a tad bit wet along the way.

BTW a great resource for wine drinkers can be found at wine.com, some good stuff there.

Green

March 11, 2012

I just received an invitation to a St Patrick’s Day party next Sunday. Can’t really say the last time I’ve been to a St Patrick’s Day party, but I’m sure it will be a blast. Lots of green beer, everyone wearing green and old Irish songs to be sang, I’m up for that and I have lots of green clothes!

South Park

March 9, 2012
by Monica

I was never much of a South Park fan when it first came out. I dated a guy once that was just a freak about that show so I watched a good amount of the episodes for a couple of years and became a bit more tolerant to their crude sense of humor. But after we broke up I never had the urge nor the opportunity to watch South Park for a good long while. Well last night I was surfing for something to just have on while I puttered around the house, just some background noise you know. I some how landed on South Park and found myself sitting down and chuckling at those same old characters that I enjoyed so long ago. I just might have to start watching it again.

Hard Boiled Eggs

February 28, 2012
by Monica

I always keep a few hard boiled eggs ready to eat in the refrigerator. They are a cheap and tasty snack to grab when in the mood. My mother always kept some ready as well for us kids to munch on and she used them in many of her recipes. She would cook a bunch up and give them to us while they were still nice and hot to put in our gloves when we went out in the cold. When and if they broke all you had to do was eat it!
