Global warming hits home!

Wow Helen, I didn't realise we had Maple production on the West Coast! Cool!

My wife's family in New England use to make syrup, but alsas, they've all sold their land and retiered from the yearly ritual which took a week of 24/7 work.

I still get a gallon of the stuff shipped to me every year but it's store bought now. The grades decline as the syrup is shipped to the west, so when they buy it out there it's much better (less sulphury and bitter tasting).

Of course I'll still have my with the artificial stuff if needed!
