We always had the real stuff. When I was really little my dad and uncle made it from our trees.

We had Aunt Jemima growing up until my grandfather started making the real stuff. My uncle took it over from him when he died, and we got a few jars of that. Since then, we have resorted to buying the real stuff. It hurts to have to pay for real maple syrup, but I can't eat the fake stuff.

Trader Joe's often has good deals on it.

I took a trip to Killington Vermont with the family as a young kid.
We have never used the fake stuff since.
Trader Joes is where I get it, but I don't shop often enough to catch it on sale.

Pete's got it right, Zen. Your options (in American grocery stores, at least) are literally 100%, or 0%. Why would they waste even 2% of real maple syrup on people who don't care enough to demand 100%?

I presume it is to fool (oops, market to) suckers who don't know better.

I grew up in a Log Cabin household. Then I discovered the dark, gooey richness of Karo Dark. Ah, the memories, which are probably far sweeter than the syrup.

I now stick to the real deal. I have at least three different kinds between the fridge and the cabinets right now, including a lovely jar (not bottle) of Amish Made Grade B Dark, that I picked up at the Central Market in Lancaster. That is some awesome syrup. Man. Now I want to make pancakes right away.

I watched three episodes this am. That is such a great show. I am slowly learning that to really understand all the details you would need to watch every episode from the very beginning. There always seems to be subtle references to things from episodes ago, but it doesn't detract from the overall show.

DanaC · 04-17-2010, 10:27 AM

Which era were you watching merc?

TheMercenary · 04-17-2010, 11:44 AM

Ugg... I have no idea.

The episode was where the people were trapped in the Library and inside a child who was part of a computer mainframe, she was the hard drive. And all the shadows were eating the people. I watched it to the end when they were saved, about 3 hours worth.

DanaC · 04-17-2010, 11:49 AM

Ahh. Ok, So the modern era then :P The 10th Doctor (David Tennant): the one who's just stepped down.

Silence in the Library is the name of the episode I think.

TheMercenary · 04-17-2010, 01:28 PM

yea, David Tennant. It was really great.

DanaC · 04-17-2010, 01:31 PM

That's one of my favourite two parters. That bit when River Song whispers to him and we find out she knows his real name. Awesome.

Nobody knows that by the way. It's never been revealed :P

I really liked the audio echo of the dead as well. Moving and very creepy.

I've never seen Dr. Who. How does it compare to Spaced?
