Moon and Maple Sugaring

[fitfool]

I was bemoaning the face that I hadn't ever taken a cool moon photo like this where there are other things in the photo besides the moon in focus. Anyhow, B said, "That's not true...you got some nice photos that day in Central Square." For awhile there, we would go places and pass my camera back and forth taking pictures. It's a lot of fun to see

Check out John Ringo's newish book called "Live Free or Die", maple syrup plays a vital role in it & (Tho YMMV coz it's SF) IMO is a crackling good read.

Looked at the Publishers Weekly Review of the book: "exploits the literally universal appeal of maple syrup". Yes! No argument here.

I think maple syrup should just be used straight on pancakes and waffles as it's too good not to have it that way. Maple flavouring goes into other stuff (kinda like vanilla extract).
I'm sure there are lots of recipes out there, though...like this one:

I've never gotten a decent moon picture.

yes...it's so good on pancakes. And lately we've been licking up little bits of it (his favorite candy now). But that makes me wonder if there are more uses that I'm missing out on :-)

You can use it for glazing ham!

p.s.
There are a ton of recipes using Maple Syrup on Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen website.

The first one I saw that struck me was Maple Almond Granola.

You can also use it in baked beans, cookies, on sweet potatoes.
(sorry-my brain wasn't quite awake when I put down just ham earlier)

Maple Almond Granola sounds really yummy. Thanks for the pointers!

Very cool shots! Did you use a telescope to take those?

Nope, just my camera.

wow...really impressive. Does your camera have a huge telephoto lens or something?
