I'm actually not too enamored of maple flavor.
How can this be? Maple is my one true flavor. I mean, after cheese and salt. Then maple.
I think I may make maple caramels today.

Mmm, maple.
Today I need to make bread. And maybe I'll do a double-batch and do sticky rolls as well. Sticky rolls are a good way to start the year, yeah?

We are in Dallas for the day, and spending NYE with the DH's 92 year old first cousin twice removed. We fly home tomorrow, and I am so looking forward to a few days there before going back to work on Monday.

Now I want something made with maple, cheese and salt. That sounds delicious.
Sticky rolls are definitely a good way to start the year! I don't think I have any black-eyed peas or cabbage in the house. I'll need to double check the cans when I get home.

Because books.
This is freaky. He got so much right!
We never make black-eyed peas and ham. Maybe this is part of our problem.

Catching up here...
I am on hold with my dentist, waiting to get an appointment so I can find out why a sharp piece of BONE is now sticking out of my gum. No, I haven't been punched in the face lately.
Dana, you are tougher than I am. I'd be in my dentists' office softly weeping until they saw me.

I only really like maple flavor in actual maple syrup. And when I'm in Canada, in those maple-leaf shaped creme sandwich cookies. (Which I'm sure you *can* get outside of Canada, but to me they're A Canada Thing.)
Holy balls it's cold outside. I had the brilliant-at-the-time idea that I'd go ice skating on the new rink in Prospect Park while the cleaners were here (kids are at daycare), except it's ten below freezing and no sun. (Midwesterners and New Englanders, stop laughing.) 25 minutes of skating and I couldn't feel my toes anymore, so I quit and came home. I did bike 6 miles around the park though, so that's something. Unfortunately the cleaners are still here which always makes me feel terribly awkward.

If I remember right, I deliberately did not do the black-eyed peas and cabbage thing last NYD and then had a pretty good year. So.

I discovered maple cream a few years ago. It was like gaining sight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The colder it is, the more friction ice skates generate (as they rely on melting a thin layer of ice under the skates to reduce friction).
Is that noticeable at -10?
