Yesterday we had Easter dinner walking through our back garden, no not a pig, but a fat wild turkey. We had five come walking though just about the same time last year. They must be looking for something good to eat as pickings must be getting low in the usual habitat.
We have another lovely sunny day but it is cold, went down to -3*C last night. Perfect days for the sap to run, and from all the newspaper articles and TV reports it is a good year for the syrup producers. Usually the school children are visiting the sugar bushes for a school trip or parents are taking them there during the March break period, however, none of that is happening this Spring. I am not really a fan of maple syrup, do you like it?
The pancakes I remember having as a child were a crepe and we would have them for a dessert. Mum would make them nice and thin, we would then squeeze lemon juice and a dusting of sugar on them and roll them into a log. yummy. I should make them soon, as just writing about them I can taste them in my mouth. Have you any had crepes like this? Having just said that, when Hubby and I were travelling out to Western Canada, we drove through the U.S. the hotel we were staying had a big restaurant, and we were both hungry so ordered the blueberry pancakes, they were so fluffy and light and stuffed full of blueberries. We also had the choice of several syrups, maple, blueberry and many more. Delicious and they kept us satisfied until dinner.
OMG I am making myself hungry and I've just had a late lunch.
Laundry washed, dried and everything put away. Not much else happening here today as I am suffering from a bit of vertigo again. Just did the Epley maneuver which helps to clear it up almost immediately.
Dinner tonight is going to be something that does not require a lot of prep, on the menu, BBQ ribs, a veg not sure what yet,
Well, that is all for today.
