They'll usually let you sample honey at the farmer's market.
Speaking of which, after the success of the beer batter last week, I bought more squash blossoms. Ideas? Recipes?

Flying Bee Ranchis not very far from me. I've been toying with the idea of using their Allergy Relief Packs but kept thinking that having honey everyday would be onerous. I'll have to make that excursion more of a priority.

I have been making a coconut shrimp with sweeted coconut meat, curry powder, lime juice, garlic, sweet peppers onions, a little bit of honey. Served over pasta.
No shrimp in house, but do have tempeh. Hmm - if I marinate the tempeh in sauce before cook....? (And given this is grain tempeh, no need for pasta). Good idea? Bad idea?

I love the idea of honey, but it's way too sweet for me to tolerate in any form other than a splash in hot tea.

I think I've seen a recipe for stuffed squash blossoms that sounded good - stuff them with a soft cheese mixture and panfry them, iirc. I'll take a look on my cookbook shelf, see if I can find it.

Gaaaaaaaa! I have pie, cheesecake, and brownies in the kitchen that I can not touch until the dinner party in a couple of hours. All this talk of honey and maple syrup makes me want to eviscerate the brownie pan with a spoon and a can of redi-whip.

Damn, now I want brownies, even though I'm past the witching hour for caffeine.

You are reminding me of a story. A friend stopped at a roadside stand in North Georgia selling honey and a customer kept asking questions about what type of honey it was. "Is this clover honey? Alfalfa honey?" The person selling the honey replied, "Lady, I just raise bees. I don't follow them."

Sounds good to me. I usually boil or steam the tempeh a bit before using it in something like that, but that's really a personal preference thing. (Boiling or steaming makes it slightly less bitter, so it depends on whether you like the bitter taste.)
