kickahaUsually my mother biffs on my birthday (and Xmas) pretty badly. I've gotten presents that I have, quite literally, thought went to the wrong person. (I learned pretty quickly that asking "Are you sure this was for me?" is a bad approach though...) She goes for volume, not quality. The more expensive the better, and if it matches *her* tastes, it *must* be perfect, right??
She did good this year.
I got maple bars overnighted from Seattle. :D
I'm sure most of you have no clue what I'm talking about, but it's a raised bar donut with maple glaze. I *LOVE* these things, and I have never found them outside of the NW. I was *hoping*, what with moving north towards the land where maple sap flows, I'd run into them again, but nope. Totally a NW thing, apparently.
And I have 4. :D Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go get my sugar rush on.
16:13 update: guhhhhhh.... sugar crasssshhhhhhh.... *thud*

Date: 2007-09-13 05:28 pm (UTC)Sluys' Bakery on Front Street in Poulsbo does "maple men"--nine-inch-tall (and near two-inch-thick) gingerbread-man shaped donuts slathered with maple frosting and dotted with chocolate for eyes, mouth, and buttons. It's diabetes-in-a-bag, but what a way to die...
Hey, new keyboard! Turns out drool is bad for the electronics...

'some kind of donut'. HA!
"You can get anything in NYC!" HA!^2

Date: 2007-09-13 05:47 pm (UTC)You're kidding. I mean, I know you're not, but man! I assumed the same thing you did, that if one goes to Maple Syrup Central, one will find maple bars!
Congrats on getting your junk food fix :). Oh, and Happy birthday, since I forgot that part yesterday :).
