chewing on things. in maine, mostly.

2 Notes

Things I ate yesterday, in various shacks in the woods

  • A piece of maple taffy (recipe: get a trough of snow and a large metal pot. Boil some fresh maple syrup in the metal pot, then ladle it in long thin streams across the trough of snow. Let it cool for a moment, then whack it into pieces using whatever implement is handiest.)
  • Two pieces of maple sugar candy (recipe: boil some fresh maple syrup until it reaches some special candy-like temperature, pour into molds, cool, serve in frilly red or white paper cups)
  • Maple-covered Chex mix from a tiny paper cup
  • Maple baked beans with salt pork
  • Hot black coffee from a medium-sized paper cup
  • A tiny paper cup of maple soda (recipe: mix a shot of fresh Grade B syrup with seltzer to taste)
  • An even tinier plastic shot-sized cup of fresh Grade B syrup, plain and unadorned (this was the best thing I ate yesterday, out of all the things I ate yesterday in various shacks in the woods)
