Maybe, the next time I go grocery shopping, I'll look for a bottle of 100% maple syrup and give it a try. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-46297770672914282782017-01-09T12:29:02.399-08:002017-01-09T12:29:02.399-08:00I couldn't eat that fake syrup having been spo...I couldn't eat that fake syrup having been spoiled with years of our own maple syrup (wish I could give you some). What many people don't know is that maple syrup has spectacularly more nutrients than in equivalent amounts of other sweeteners. Riboflavin, Thiamin, Manganese, Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Selenium and Potassium are all present in maple syrup, Riboflavin and Manganese in particular being especially prominent. Researchers have documented that maple syrup has a higher nutritional value than all other common sweeteners. It is even good (in small amounts) for people with diabetes.<br />If you are interested you can find more at www.internationalmaplesyrupinstitute.com and check out "Maple Nutritional and Health Benefits Information", under downloadable resources.<br /><br />BushladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-57298912236421105512017-01-08T19:27:52.974-08:002017-01-08T19:27:52.974-08:00Thank you, Judy.

Is it fake ...Oh I'm really curious now, Bless. Is it fake syrup that you no longer like on pancakes or is it the real thing - maple syrup? If it is the first, then maybe you need maple syrup, which goes wonderfully with the bacon as well (I'm salivating as I type!). There are some pleasant fruit syrups available which might make a change for you. One of the things my family gave me at Christmas was a fancy bottle of blackcurrant syrup, which reminded me of how much I liked Ribena when I was growing up. Around here a local farm produces blueberry syrup which is great on pancakes, too.<br /><br />BushladyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-15893377741740808452017-01-08T14:36:08.159-08:002017-01-08T14:36:08.159-08:00The shoulder feels much better, today, thank you. ...The shoulder feels much better, today, thank you. I don't see any bruising, either. It helps to have a layer of extra fat under my skin to cushion any impacts, I think! :D<br /><br />Thank you for saying that I amazed you with what I managed to get done, yesterday. :) I was feeling guilty for not doing more! I did my errands all in one go, yesterday - gas station is on the way to the pharmacy and grocery store which are in the same shopping mall. It took me a little over an hour and I felt that I should have done more housework before or after!

It's the stuff of old slapstick comedies, isn't it? :D Very Laurel and Hardy, or Charlie Chaplin! Don't feel bad for laughing; you have so much going on, you deserve a laugh or two and I'm glad to have provided you with one. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-71483985995882177382017-01-08T13:36:23.535-08:002017-01-08T13:36:23.535-08:00Yes, mention it to the doctor.

You really gave that shoulder a wallop when you crashed into the glass. <br /><br />It amazes me that you can go out to do grocery shopping and still come home and get all of those errands done. You put me to shame.

Instead of shock and dismay at your falling accident, I couldn't stop laughing. I have this image in my head from the point of view of your gardener friend, who must have been aghast at you coming straight at him at full tilt trying to recover your balance and falling into a crumpled heap in the doorway. I can see you raise your one arm very slowly to unlatch the door. I am going to attribute this hilarity to my fatigue. You often hear of people getting the giggles during a profoundly somber event (like a funeral) Well, this reminds me of one of those incidents. I was so glad to read that there was only some slight soreness the next day, and that you continue to improve.

I was anxious to run my errands yesterday because they were forecasting a major rain storm for today. So far, however, it has been clear and sunny!<br /><br />I'm glad you don't need to go anywhere and can stay home and relax (and get some housework done.) Have a lovely day.

That's my favorite kind of day, usually!<br /><br />This morning Greg and I wanted to go walking but it's in the low 30s and it feels like 28F at the moment so I'm thinking we're not going. I'm meeting Middle Son for lunch at noon, just the two of us, we'll be celebrating his upcoming birthday and then he'll come back over to my house to visit the kittens. Well, that's the plan. Oh and I need to give him his Christmas presents since we never did meet over the holidays.<br /><br />Have a great Sunday, Bless. <br />Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
