I, for one, prefer a perfect combination of chocolate with peanut butter. I'll make you some when you're back State-side.

Molly, what kind of fool do you take me for? We just don't HAVE it here. No maple syrup and all. In fact, if I had the choice at home, I'd opt for the chocolate or the peanut butter fudge over maple any day. But something about the singularity of maple syrup just drew me. Or maybe it was the Canadian flag. That'll do it, too.

Ah! Diana, you gem. In fact, the reason I had such a near-Canadian reaction to maple syrup is because one of my dearest friends is from Vermont, and has made me feel about Vermont maple syrup the way people seem to feel about wine or caviar or those poisonous fish livers in Japan... Vermont maple syrup. Ahhhh....

ok, I'll go public. Our daughter brought real maple sugar candy as gifts when she camm to Rwanda. I am sure she gave it all away, but if you are there when she gets back, and the 2 of you meet, well , just let me say that Vermont maple is the gold standard for anything maple, just like ben and Jerry's used to be to ice cream. At any rate, Jina , whereever you are I will make sure you get some real Vermont Maple something.

I know! This whole thing was really just an excuse to brag about eating maple fudge. I hope Alex reads this.
