My dad was a firm believer in always having a gallon of maple syrup in the freezer and made sure we were properly stocked at the end of each summer. I do miss that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My sister keeps her butter in a bell I keep a stick in a butter dish on the counter. We grew up on margarine but switched to butter (independently) for the perceived natural healthiness. I'm not sure I could tell the difference by blind taste, honestly. My parents don't eat butter or margarine anymore, but they keep some butter in the freezer for when my sister visits, so I'm thinking she has more of a taste for it.
I've never been in the habit of putting syrup on anything, but when I do I go for maple grade B

What is even happening?
No House of Representatives Watch-n-Post on the Healthcare Bill? Who are you people and what have you done with my Buffistas. We just got 218 votes (including one brave, Republican soul). Hooray! Oh, it's 219, now. 220. I'll watch and post by myself, I will.

What's teh difference between the grades of maple syrup?
I can't watch the Health Care, Cindy, it would upset me too much, I'd start yelling, and my blood pressure would go all through the roof, and that would be bad for my OWN health. So, I'll just have to wait and see how it turned out tomorrow, and then be vaguely happy (because it's still not communists socializing my nazism or whatver) or disappointed, as necessary.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What's teh difference between the grades of maple syrup?
Color. B is darker. And tastier.

B is a stronger maple taste, which is why it is used in baking. Fancy has the most delicate flavor of the As (light, medium, and dark), and is generally the most expensive.
