Our Japanese Restaurant

We have begun to serve Japanese cuisine every Wednesday

and Saturday evening and so far it is going quite well.

The local people from here in Madoc and the surrounding

towns are very happy to have Japanese food.

Our precious friends in Japan, Mr. and Mrs. Hoshino

sent us this beautiful little Japanese umbrella that has

a light in it, so we put it up right away and it looks

wonderful!

Thank you very much Mr. and Mrs. Hoshino, you have sent

us a bit of Japan to warm up our restaurant!!

Canadian Maple Syrup

When the sap comes out of the trees it is very thin

like water and looks like water.

The sap from from the trees goes into big steel vats

and boiled for many hours until only thick, brown

maple syrup remains.

Yummy, sweet maple syrup!
