a cold winter walk, oh wait its spring. the sun did stay out for several hours and made our walk delightful. the bitter wind kept us bundled up, but it felt nice anyway. lots of fun surprises, a pretty cross fox caught our attention and we followed him for quite some distance. an otter delighted us as it hopped across the tundra, a silly vole made us laugh.
my third Maple Syrup Sunday celebrated away from Maine. i will never miss a maine tradition! ah and this year i added an element! my 2nd favorite thing banana bread... made into french toast and smothered in maine maple syrup. i can't take the credit for this idea, but when i saw the recipe i could believe i had never thought of it. my favorite thing to have maple syrup on(besides icecream) and made out of my most favorite bread! http://www.wheatfoods.org/Banana-Bread-French-Toast.51.1.htmthe recipe came from Wheat Foods Council.
for those of you who know i'm not much of a cook, of course i didn't follow the recipe, it's the idea thats important. my banana bread isn't quite a typical one, considering i drop the sugar and oil in tradidtional recipes, but the latest thing i've been using is mace for seasoning... i hapen to have it because it is in one of my fish brine recipes, anyway the latest tin i bought had several uses for the spice i would never had tried....
