What's wrong with Canadians?

When you’re done wit that, try naming the capitals. I can at best name about 50%

By the time that I get through the states we will have added a couple more. And since that hasn't happened since the year that I was born, my list might take a while.

You left out the blizzard on opening and last day...

Oh yeah, that's correct! But on the blizzard days my father made me stay home to split fire wood and shovel the driveway!

One thing people notice when they eat one of the turkeys I've raised... they cook up a lot faster. I find that commercially grown turkey is salty, probably because I don't eat it very often.

Funny, I prefer the taste of "store" turkeys, maybe just what I'm used to. My sister will sometimes get a local one for Thanksgiving and to me it tastes rubbery. Could be she's preparing it wrong for all I know.

OTOH, I can't believe anyone would prefer Aunt Jemima-type syrup over real maple, but there are those who do.

I agree - it’s Un-Canadian!

Not all maple syrup is created equal. Some doesn't have much flavor at all.

Those of us whose parents lived through The Depression were raised on Karo and Mapeline.

Funny thing, the higher grade syrup is light, runny, and has less flavor. The so called darker grades taste a lot better to me.
I will go without syrup on my pancakes before I'll use fake maple syrup. A little butter and strawberry jam makes a nice substitute though.

Cane or sorghum syrup in the south, if you can find it. Many have been cut or mixed with corn syrup or something like that.

Honey butter with just a little lemon here. My wife likes powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Maple Syrup tastes pretty good when it comes from sap you tapped in your own forest. Then one of the trees blows down in a big windstorm, and becomes (after some hauling, milling, gluing, routering and finishing), a harvest table! When I milled the log, I found one of my tapping holes!
