Snuff, we have a family tradition to go to one each and every year. I have been do this since I was in my teens. It is so much fun, and I found that it is more fun doing it with my DS.

It is best with children . I used to volunteer every year when my boys went on their field trips. The teachers always gave me the most active kids and I'd have them run silly and play games through the woods. We'd always end up filthy caked with mud but we had a blast .

If she's a friend of yours, sorry, but this seems to be what has transpired through her trades. My trade with Kyriakos went well, but many were not so lucky

No wasn't really a friend,i started trading with her a few years back and then decided to go for coffee.I did many big trades of $300-$400 in coupons and always got the GC.To me she was always a very nice person and i miss the times i spent taking with her

My kids don't want to go to cabane a sucre, they don't eat any of that stuff except Kiera eats the ham. You think I can get her to eat $40 worth?

40$?

it cost 40$ to go at cabane à sucre?

Oh yes! It is that expensive. That why I don't go since many years. And the quality vary from a place to another one.

This just gave me a mental image of George/Seinfeld.... filling ziploc baggies full of ham

I planted 6 Sugar Maple in my yard 2 years ago and will plant another 6 this spring. You're all invited over for some maple syrup.....in about 20 years or so .

That's what it cost for me and the 2 kids last year at Le Goudrelle, actually maybe it was more than that.

My friend went to one on the weekend and it was $57 each!!!! Tabranouche!!

hum, I think we didn't go to the same place! Last time I was at the cabane à sucre it cost me that price for all my family!

could I said I hate commercial sugar shack and only to the small one or the one of family member?

I missed the old days when my grand-father was having his farm and his sugar shack. We were going to the cabane à sucre every spring with all the family member (cousin, aunt, uncle, grand-parent)... It was a real expedition to go there every spring!!! Le tracteur avec la wagin avec des balle de paille comme banc pour monter là-bas... plein de bouette, parfois on restait pogné en chemin... un plancher en terre battue la cabane, pas de cuisine, tout se faisait sur le poêle à bois pour l'évaporateur pour faire le sirop... pas d'animaux à visiter (ça c'est une idée commerciale les animaux à la cabane à part le chien qui suit tout le temps ses maitres), pas de bécosse non plus ... Y'avait juste 4 mur, un toit, un évaporateur, un poêle, une vieille table à carte, des vieilles chaises de babouche, un jeu de carte et un vieux transistor pour pogner la radio.

Far Far Away of the commercial sugar shack!

(lol, when I was 6 years old and gone at the cabane à sucre for the first time with school I was very deasappointed... it was not cabane à sucre, is was like a restaurant where they were pitching us food on table, wanted we eat fast to serve the next group. No this was not cabane à sucre for me)

not tabarnouche but TABARNAK at that price!

Does it was Au pied de cochon sugar shack? Anyway for me all those place are too pricey and too much for "flashy people"

PS: ok I did a google search, this is probably that sugar shack because this is exactly the price I saw if you click on "menu" and this is "taxes & pourboires non-compris"

[Patty Smyth]

Yes it was that one but I had never heard of it. Not in my price range anyways.
