[the H team]

Hi All, my fever and chills are all gone, now I just have a really sore throat! So much better, but have not been able to enjoy the outside!

Hicks you are a good friend to your friend and I do hope DH gets better soon!

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Glad you're feeling better, Habs. Try gargling with saltsalt& warm water to help your throat. Also warm water or tea with honey & lemon will help too.

hicks - how's your bf's dh?

He's still in critical condition, but they think he'll be ok.
It certainly has been a worry.
Thanks for asking.

[Mechman47]

Alcohol numbs the feelings...

Music fits the void!
ELP to me began at BSS.

All other explorations began there, OK Lucy Man perked the interest before that.

So another direction:

[Mechman47]

Still need to say something...


Love their artistry! We are going to lose so many so soon!

Keith was a PIONEER!

He was brilliant!

[Mechman47]

Not what you might pick!
But exactly why you need to listen!

[Mechman47]

OK it gets repetative, but the first few minutes prove his brilliance.
This will always remain in my top ten!

Fun with maple syrup

Maple syrup just doesn't get enough credit: yes, it's delicious with waffles, but there are so many other dishes that pair wonderfully with this sweet nectar! It's time to give maple syrup the credit it deserves.

1. Breakfast

We all know maple syrup is a staple on the breakfast table when it comes to pancakes and waffles, but what about everyday foods like oatmeal?

• A little drizzle of maple syrup on hot oats adds a lovely shot of natural sweetness.
• You could also try sweetening your smoothies with a dash. Maple flavour pairs especially well with banana drinks.

2. Snacks

Baking

• The next time you're in the kitchen baking up a tasty loaf or a tray of muffins, considering subbing some (or all) of the sugar in your recipe for maple syrup. You'll get loads more flavour.

Yogurt

• Try sweetening a tub of plain or Greek yogurt with some syrup.

Cinnamon buns

• For a new twist on an old favourite, try pouring maple syrup, instead of cream cheese icing, over a tray of cinnamon buns while they're still hot.

Nuts
If you like snacking on nuts, try roasting them yourself to inject them with all-out maple flavour.

• Scatter raw nuts on a lined oven tray, then drizzle some maple syrup over them and ensure everything is coated.
• Add a sprinkle of salt and some cinnamon, and roast them in the oven for around 10 minutes, turning halfway through.

3. Savoury dishes

Maple syrup and bacon go well together, so why not take that further and introduce maple into your roast dinners?

• Try marinating pork chops or pork tenderloin in a combination of maple syrup, mustard, sesame oil, garlic and a touch of salt and pepper.
• Beef lovers will enjoy maple-glazed ribs, or you could add a dash of maple to your next batch of BBQ sauce.
• Even veggies can pack a punch with a little helping hand from maple syrup: try roasting vegetables like pumpkin, beets and sweet potato with a drizzle of maple syrup on top.

4. Cocktail hour

Maple and bourbon or rum are a perfect match when it comes to sweet and satisfying cocktails.

• If you're really adventurous and like to dabble in home brew, try making a maple-pear cider.

The versatile sweetener

Maple is meant for so much more than pancakes and waffles. Try one of these ideas and you'll see how versatile the syrup is.
