Hi Dave,

 DD> There are a lot of maple flavoured things out there and available to
 DD> eat. So, apparently, I'm in a minority of not liking the stuff.

 RH> Seems to be so, but then too, we can't all like the same things. Most
 RH> people like peanut butter but I have an extreme dislike of it. A lot of
 RH> people drink coffee but not so many (Americans) prefer tea, me being
 RH> one of the latter group.

 DD> Your P-nut butter dislike is rooted in the same source as my extreme
 DD> prejudice against bologna. The dreaded overdose.

A bologna sandwich was a treat, once we convinced my mom to put mustard
on it instead of butter. A slice of cheese would have been a nice
addition also but the cheese had to be saved for another alternative to
pb&j sandwich. Of course all sandwiches were on cheap white bread.

 DD> I've made the stop and the tour. But none of my souvenirs involve
 DD> syrup.

 RH> You have mentioned it to me several times. One of these days when we're
 RH> either going or coming from out west, we'll have to stop and pick up
 RH> some maple goodies. Looks like our church mission trips to VT are now a
 RH> thing of the past; we merged with another (larger) church a few months
 RH> ago. Their mission trip focus is on New Hampshire where a former member
 RH> couple is in mission work.

 DD> It's a neat place even if I'm not a fan of their claim to fame.

We'll have to stop some time--how close is it to I-70 or I-80? They're
the main ones we take cross country heading toward home or Utah, for AZ
we go I-40/I-10.


 RH> He can tolerate small amounts of sorgum. His mom had a small jug of it
 RH> several years ago when she and Dad were getting ready to move into
 RH> assisted living. We were helping her clean out the place where they had
 RH> been living and came across the jug; it came home with us as well as a
 RH> number of spices that went right into our freezer until the in use ones
 RH> had been used up. The sorgum is now gone, mostly into Steve's coffee.

 DD> As I don't take anything in my coffee. And only lemon (very
 DD> occasionally) in my tea it would last quite a while until the
 DD> panquakes or waffles made an appearance.

I use stevia in my tea; the green packets sweeten it just right.
