Ebb and Flow


After a week long lull, the sap is running again. I tapped five trees this morning. If you want to do your own tree, now is the time, at least Iowa City (and anywhere else that temps are above freezing during the day and below freezing at night). The season is already longer than last year.

Wanna know what that fine print says? Oh, just that in 2005, a mysterious syrup smell invaded Manhattan, leading some to cry "terrorism." In reality, it was a leak of fenugreek from a fake maple syrup manufacturing plant in NJ. It wafted across state lines making people think, "leggo my eggo." Terrorism and table syrup? Avoid it all and make your own.
