Well even though the weather was strange - we had a pretty damn good weekend! We went out for dinner with friends, and on Sunday night- for the first time in a year, we had my parents back over to to the house for dinner.
I know - some of you will argue that that s nonsense, and i could have done it anytime I wanted. Well, given the pandemic, and having a daughter who has worked on the Covid floor of a hospital since the beginning- we played it safe and played by the guidelines. We waited until Valerie, the kids and I - AND my parents were all vaccinated before we went masks off. Anyway - the point is- it was nice to be able to get together like normal again.

Maple syrup: It’s not just for pancakes
Daniel Neman, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
You may as well admit it. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. You do it. We all do it.
When you cook with maple syrup, and some of the syrup clings tenaciously to the measuring spoon or cup, you wipe it out with your finger and then lick the syrup off the finger. Don’t you?
