In preparing to join Intellectuelle, I have spent an inordinate amount of time bothering Bonnie, the good natured woman who will be manning ( yes, I’m tempted to turn a cute phrase on that) the ship over there. While doing my ‘idea hamster‘ thing I spent some time on her site, and found a wonderful photo essay on her maple sugaring outing. Take a look at the process and savor the memories of real maple syrup on pancakes vicariously. Not so many calories, unless you are inspired to produce an old fashioned maple syrup on pancakes breakfast of your own.
