The church that ours is merging with has a lot of young families and young singles; we are old enough to be parents and grandparents of most of them, great grandparents to their children. Steve has a partial hearing loss and tinnitus from his time in the Army but the music is painfully loud, even for him. RH> Sounds logical to me. What other fruits are in the series? Peach would RH> be a good one. BC> Unfortunately, i could not find The Peach Connection. BC> From: BC> The Apple Connection BC> The Blueberry Connection BC> The Strawberry Connection BC> The Sugar Bush Connection (Maple Syrup) The last one sounds extra good. (G) I was raised on NY State maple syrup and it was all we bought after getting married. I had to convert Steve but it wasn't a hard job. Back in 2015 we made our first of now 6 mission trips with our church to Vermont and, since we were very low on syrup, bought some up there. We've continued getting it there on subsequent trips, don't know how the merger will affect that. We were also introduced to maple creemees, a Vermont specialty where maple syrup is blended with soft serve ice cream, decadent but yummy. BC> And here's a sweet recipe for you... BC> Title: Yogurt Honey Cream Pie BC> Categories: Pies BC> Yield: 1 Pie It does look good. The toasted oat crust is something I've never tried but may, with something like this instead of a graham cracker crust. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
