When you bring maple syrup pie to Christmas dinner - despite strong opposition like 'Oh nobody will eat it, we're not frickin Quebeckers' - and 2 pumpkin pies, an apple pie and a cherry pie all go completely totally frickin ignored and uneaten partly cause a) they're cheap storebought s**t, and b) your homemade maple syrup pie vanishes within 5 minutes....sweetest revenge ever.

Actually more of an adoptive family, not birth family, but they do tend to be a little narrow in terms of their taste preferences. I also served it with creme fraiche which is slightly acidic, to counter the richness of the pie.Originally Posted by psparr

You know you're an addict when your buddies riding in the vehicle with you are checking out the women you are driving by and all you see are the roadside maples wondering how much and how sweet the sap would be from them if you could tap them!!!!
