Wow.

Usually 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.

"Totally a NW thing, apparently."

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 :).

Yeah, apparently the closest thing up here is a "maple coated Long John"... which just sounds wrong, wrong, wrong, if you ask me.

A Long John is the generic name for the bar donut, and you can find them up here, sometimes, but almost always in either chocolate or vanilla. Never maple.
