Cabane à Sucre
I have now experienced “Cabane à Sucre”. This has to rank as one of my least favorite weekends in Montreal. We drove 30 minutes to get to this place that was going to serve us brunch and have all the syrup we can eat.
I’m not a big brunch fan. I like breakfast and lunch. You can’t combine them. Rachel told me to not eat breakfast before going but I did anyways. I live on the edge like that. It turned out I made the right choice. Check this out:
Does that look good to you? They also had pee (no spelling error here) soup. I’m not going to eat pea soup. Gross. I ended up eating carrots, a bun, some fries, and a piece of pie.
After brunch we checked out the other activities. A horse ride around where they collect the maple syrup. It wasn’t exactly a beautiful site. It all looked just like this…
They also had a mini petting zoo. Nothing special in there. Some rabbits, goats, etc. The most exciting thing here was an emu that I think someone slipped some LSD cause it was flaying all over the place. The emu was about the same height as me. For the record, I could totally take it in a fight. You know, if it came down to me versus the emu in a life or death situation. I can think of numerous cases where that might happen.
Our final stop was having syrup on a stick. I don’t know what they actually call it. Pretty much they pour some syrup on some snow and then you take a popsicle stick and roll up the syrup and eat it. Most people used a single stick either because they were wusses or because they had better skills than me. I used 4 sticks.
I think I managed to get syrup everywhere. Pretty much if spider-man was to fight someone with some syrup sticks it would be a stand still. Both could climb buildings and fling sticky stuff.

For the record, pea soup is awsome. In fact i’m making a giant batch of it this weak. I’ll put a bowl of it uncovered on your desk and it will be waiting for you when you get back.
And that pile of ham with syrop looks awsome, and i mean it, any man will agree.
Kudos on the quadruple stick dip, way to represent the west, we don’t fuck around.

re: In fact i’m making a giant batch of it this weak.
I’m going to pretend the spelling of “weak” was a really clever jab at my “pee” spelling.
re: ham with syrop
Oh you thought that was syrup? That’s grease. The syrup was an addition you could add yourself.

I’m going to pretend you’re not stupid and knew what i meant regardless of the spelling
And i assumed there was not yet any syrop on the ham, but once i was done with it there sure would be. However, i would still prefer ketchup.

The emu has an LCD? How cool is that! Just imagine what it’d be like to have an emu on LSD and watching an LCD! That’d be even cooler!

Heh, LCD. Spelling mistake fixed. Though it would be pretty awesome to see an emu on a LCD. As long as it wasn’t mine.
