[RecipesAndMore] Maple Syrup Taste Test
Maple and Pancake Syrup Published January 1, 2009. From Cook's Illustrated. Does it pay to buy the priciest syrup in the aisle-and does it even need to be real maple? products tested (listed alphabetically) Aunt Jemima Original Syrup Camp Maple Syrup Highland Sugarworks Hungry Jack Original Syrup Kellogg's Eggo Original Syrup Log Cabin Pancake Syrup Maple Gold Syrup Maple Grove Farms Pure Maple Syrup Mrs. Butterworth's Original Syrup Spring Tree Pure Maple Syrup See Product Comparison Chart The syrup area of the supermarket is full of evocative names. You can breakfast with motherly Mrs. Butterworth or manly Hungry Jack or escape into nature with Maple Grove Farms, Spring Tree, or Log Cabin. Sold side by side, genuine maple syrup and so-called pancake syrup (made with high-fructose corn syrup) can range from more than $1 per ounce for the real deal to a mere 14 cents per ounce for an imitation. But, price and product names aside, which tastes best? To find out, we pitted four top-selling national brands of maple syrup against five popular pancake syrups, hoping to find the best one for pouring over pancakes or using in recipes. For good measure, we also threw in the winning mail-order maple syrup from a previous tasting. Americans love syrup, spending more than $450 million a year on it in supermarkets alone, with pancake syrup vastly outselling real maple syrup. While the two types look alike, and both taste sweet, the similarity ends there. Maple syrup is simply tree sap that has been boiled to reduce its water content and concentrate its sugar. As the sap boils down, it caramelizes and develops a characteristic maple flavor and golden brown color. Pancake syrup, on the other hand, is a manufactured mix of high-fructose corn syrup and other ingredients engineered to taste like maple. These maple wannabes have their work cut out for them, as it's not easy to replicate the taste of genuine maple syrup. Its flavors vary enormously-some syrups are rich and complex, with hints of honey, wood, coffee, smoke, caramel, chocolate, and even rum-others are light, bright, and remarkably clean-tasting for something so sweet. Indeed, scientists have identified nearly 300 flavor compounds in maple syrup (though not in every one); these are produced as the various amino acids, phenolic compounds, minerals, salts, and sugars contained in sap interact during boiling. Still Tapped by Hand Maple syrup costs much more than pancake syrup for some very good reasons: Its production is labor-intensive, with a short season and limited supply. Sap only runs for about a month at the end of winter, when freezing nights and warmer days turn starch stored in the tree roots into sugar and start it circulating through the tree to fuel spring growth. Workers set taps by hand and move them each year so that the trees can heal. We've all seen pictures of buckets on trees and horse-drawn wagons carrying sap to the sugarhouse; farmers today use miles of plastic tubing, which is laid by hand throughout the woods to convey sap. The maple trees grow in a limited area: Quebec produces about 79 percent of the world's maple syrup, followed by Vermont, with the remainder from other states. It takes a lot of maple sap to make syrup: Forty gallons boil down to around 1 gallon of syrup. When it reaches the right density, the syrup is filtered and poured hot into containers. To develop a consistent product year after year, large manufacturers start with a specific understanding of their preferred flavor profile, then carefully blend syrup in batches before repasteurizing and bottling it. The U.S. government enforces standards for maple syrup, requiring a minimum of 66 percent density (a measure of sugar content) and grading the syrup by color. The lightest-colored, most delicate-flavored syrup, tapped at the beginning of the season when the sap first begins flowing, is usually the most expensive-more than $1 per ounce. As the season progresses and the weather warms, the syrup becomes darker and more intensely flavored. Certain influences, such as insect infestations in trees or tapping sap too late in the season, when buds are forming, can produce off-flavors. Although maple syrup has been poured since Native Americans first discovered the sweetness of maple sap, pancake syrup is a modern invention. The first brand, Log Cabin, concocted in 1887 as a cheaper alternative, originally contained 45 percent maple syrup supplemented by inexpensive corn syrup. As more brands came along, the real maple content shrank; Aunt Jemima, for instance, made its debut in 1966 with just 15 percent maple syrup. By the 1970s, most brands-claiming customers didn't mind-had eliminated maple syrup from their products, replacing it with a slew of artificial flavorings and additives. Cloying and Candy like As soon as we tabulated the results of our tastings, it became clear that the pancake syrups would not do: Whether tasted on waffles or baked in
[RecipesAndMore] God's Wife
Oh how I wish we could all be like the little children of God. What a wonderful world this would be. God's Wife WATCH OUT FOR THE LAST STORYIT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.. The winner was: A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.' * Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted. A little girl said, 'I know all about adoption, I was adopted..' 'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked another child. 'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!' * On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was. 'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile. 'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged.' 'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face...'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet.' * Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me.'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.' * An eye witness account from New York City, on a cold day in December, some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!' 'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,'was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.' As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her. 'Are you God's wife?' * SEND TO ALL WHO LOVE AND CARE FOR CHILDREN. Hope this put a smile on your face it sure did mine. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime.

Hi Steve, Wow! Great post! Thanks. Sherri On 1/24/09, steve doyle steve.doy...@ntlworld.com wrote: I FOUND JESUS THERE The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. Tomorrow morning, the surgeon began, I'll open up your heart... You'll find Jesus there, the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed. I'll cut your heart open, he continued, to see how much damage has been done... But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there. The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up and I'll plan what to do next. But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart. The surgeon had had enough. I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well. You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there. The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery: ...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis: here he paused, death within one year. He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. Why? he asked aloud. Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why? The Lord answered and said, The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow. The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why? The Lord answered, The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for he has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb. The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, Did you cut open my heart? Yes, said the surgeon. What did you find? asked the boy.

Ancho Chile Devil's Food Cake with Godiva Liqueur and Marshmallow Frosting The James Beard Foundation/Godiva Liqueur Baking Competition New York Regional Competition Winner/Dessert Category Wayne Harley Brachman, Pastry Chef, Mesa Grill and Bolo, New York City Serves 12 1-1/4 cups cake flour 1/2 cup cocoa 3 tablespoons ancho chili powder 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 ounces (1-1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1-1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs 3 ounces ( 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) hot coffee 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons Godiva Liqueur 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the sides of two 15-1/2 by 10-1/2 inch jelly-roll pans. Line them with parchment or buttered waxed paper, melted butter or non-stick vegetable spray for greasing the pan. 2. Sift the flour, cocoa, ancho, cayenne, baking powder, baking soda and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper. Sift two more times to mix and aerate. Put the butter and sugar in the bowl or an electric mixer and beat at high speed for two minutes until well combined and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Continue beating until light and very fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary, about five more minutes. With the mixer on its lowest setting, or by hand with a rubber spatula, fold in one half of the dry mixture. Fold in the vanilla and one quarter of the buttermilk and coffee; another one third of the dry mixture and then the remaining buttermilk and coffee. Finally, fold in the remaining ingredients. 3. Spread the batter evenly in the two pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool the cake layers, in the pans, on a wire rack. 4. When cool, turn them out of the pans by inverting each one onto a plate. Split each cake into two layers and fill with the Marshmallow Frosting to create a four layer cake. Frost the outside with Ganache. You may pipe on extra Marshmallow Frosting to decorate. Godiva Liqueur Marshmallow Frosting 1/2 cup water 1 cup sugar 1-1/2 cups corn syrup 5 egg whites a pinch of salt 1/4 cup Godiva Liqueur 1/4 pound (1 stick) butter at room temperature 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar 1. Put the water, sugar and corn syrup in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over high heat to soft ball (240 degrees). If necessary, stir a few times to help dissolve the sugar crystals. 2. Meanwhile, in an immaculately clean and dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When soft peaks form, sprinkle on the teaspoon of sugar and whisk until the peaks stiffen to the consistency of shaving cream. Set aside until the syrup is ready. 3. While constantly whisking the egg whites, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Mix in the Godiva Liqueur and continue to whisk until cooled down, thickened and spreadable. 4. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the butter and confectioner's sugar. Fold in the egg white mixture. Tamra Sugar Says: Where there is grief, I hope I offered some comfort. Where there is hate, I hope some love was found here. Where there is doubt, I hoped I showed you words of faith. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] Southern Cornbread (Yeast)
Southern Cornbread (Yeast) A yeasted cornbread is different—almost like anadama bread. Because the kneading develops the gluten, it is more bread-like and less crumbly than traditional cornbread. Oh, and this bread would make great Thanksgiving dressing. Southern Cornbread (Yeast) 1 (7 gram) package active dry yeast 1 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees) 4 1/3 cups all-purpose or bread flour (more or less) 1 teaspoon salt 1 2/3 cup cornmeal 4 tablespoons melted butter 1/4 cup honey 2 large eggs 1 can whole kernel corn, drained 2 tablespoons cornmeal 1 egg for egg wash (optional) Directions 1. In the bowl of a stand-type mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. 2. Add half of the flour and mix with a dough hook. Add the salt, cornmeal, butter, honey, two eggs, and drained corn and continue mixing. 3. While continuing to mix, add the flour needed to bring the dough to a bread-dough type consistency. The amount of flour needed will vary largely on how well drained the corn was. 4. Knead as you would for other yeast breads and then remove the dough to a greased bowl. Turn once to oil both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled. 5. Once doubled, divide the dough into two equal parts for two loaves. Form the loaves. If you are going to make free standing artisan loaves, grease a baking sheet and sprinkle the sheet with part of the remaining cornmeal. Place the loaves on the sheet. If you are making sandwich loaves, grease the baking pans well—the bread tends to stick to the pans--and sprinkle cornmeal in the pans. Let the bread rise until doubled again. 6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. If you choose, just before baking, whisk the remaining egg with one tablespoon water and brush the egg wash on the loaf. Sprinkle the loaf with cornmeal. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and tests done. Remove the bread from the pans and cool on racks. Freeze any extra bread or save the bread for croutons.

[RecipesAndMore] Kitchen Tip: Flatten Ground Beef Befo re You Freeze
Kitchen Tip: Flatten Ground Beef Before You Freeze : Flatten Ground Beef Before You Freeze When buying pre-packaged hamburger, notice how the meat always seems to have a big lump at one end from the way the machine extrudes it? Use your hands to flatten it and disperse the meat evenly in the package (being careful not to break the wrapping). Alternately, remove the meat and place it in a 1-quart freezer bag. Then flatten and spread it to fill most of the bag, then squeeze out as much air as possible by zipping most of the bag, pressing out the last of the air through the open corner, and then completing the zip. Either way, the packages will stack better in the freezer, take up less room, and defrost quicker and more evenly. And no more defrosted hamburger except for that last solid chunk inside the big lump!

Wow! I almost didn't read this. I did though and passed it on. Scary isn't it? I wonder who wrote it because that is a very unique way to get someone's attention. Becky From: Sugar Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 3:10 PM To: recipesandMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] DARK LETTER DARK LETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THE P.S. at the end!! Letter from the Devil This can really make you think. It actually made me really mad while I was reading it, but it made me realize some things. Plus, I had to send it because of the P.S. This is deep... and I wasn't going to forward or share it, but that last line... you'll see. A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had. We have been... watching dirty movies, cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes. SURELY you don't want to give all this up. Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you. IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST. P.S. If you love me, you won't share this. This is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.Psalm 118:24 Sugar Says: Where there is grief, I hope I offered some comfort.

[RecipesAndMore] Do You Want A donut?
I first heard this story when I didn't have a computer yet. I had an e-mail reader called net echo. A friend sent it to me. That was about five years ago. I decided to see if I could find the story because I think it's worth reading again. Do You Want A Donut There was a certain professor of theology named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the western U.S. Dr. Christianson taught the survey course in Christianity, which was a requirement of every freshman regardless of major. Although Dr. Christianson tried to communicate the essence of the gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon the course as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his efforts, most students refused to take the gospel seriously. One year Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was only a freshmen, but was studying with the intent of going on to seminary for the ministry. Steve was popular, smart, and athletic. Although only a freshman, Steve was the starting center on the football team, and was the best student in the professor's class. One day Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk with him. How many push-ups can you do? Steve said, I do two hundred every night. Two hundred! That's pretty good, Steve. Dr. Christianson said. Do you think you could do 300? Steve replied, I don't know... I've never done 300 at a time. Do you think you could? again asked Dr. Christianson. Well, I can try, said Steve. Can you do 300 in sets of ten? I have a class project in mind and I need you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work. Can you do it? I need you to tell me if you can, said the professor. Steve said, Well, I think I can. . . . yeah, I can do it. Dr. Christianson said, Good! I need you to do this on Friday. Let me explain what I have in mind... Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room. When class started, the professor pulled out a big box of donuts. They were the extra fancy big kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls. Everyone was excited it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an early start on the weekend with a party in Dr. Christianson's class. Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts? Cynthia said, Yes. Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Cynthia can have a donut? Steve said, Sure, and jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve sat again at his desk. Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk. Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next in line, and asked,Joe, do you want a donut? Joe said yes, so Dr. Christianson asked Steve to do ten push-ups so that Joe could have a donut. Steve did ten, and Joe got a donut. And so it went down the first aisle. Steve did ten push-ups for every person so that each could have a donut. And down the second aisle, till Dr. Christianson came to Scott. Scott was on the basketball team, was in excellent condition, and also was very popular. The professor asked, Scott, do you want a donut? Scott's reply was, Well, can I do my own push-ups? Dr. Christianson said, No, Steve has to do them. Scott said, Then I don't want one. Dr. Christianson shrugged and turned to Steve and asked, Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Scott can have a donut he doesn't want? With perfect obedience, Steve started to do ten push-ups. Scott said, Hey! I said I didn't want one! Dr. Christianson said, Look, this is my classroom, my class, my desks, and these are my donuts, a free gift for you. Just leave it on the desk if you don't want it. And he put a donut on Scott's desk. Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a bit. He stayed on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to get up and down. You could see a little perspiration coming out around his brow. Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christian asked Jenny, Jenny, do you want a donut? Sternly, Jenny said, No! Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, Steve, would you do ten more push-ups so Jenny can have a donut she doesn't want? Steve did ten and Jenny got a donut. By now a sense of uneasiness filled the room. Students were beginning to say no and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks. Steve had to put forth a lot of extra effort to get these push-ups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on the floor beneath his face; his arms and brow were getting red because of the physical effort involved. Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the class, to be sure and watch Steve do each push-up to make sure he did the full ten push-ups in a set because Dr. Christianson couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all those uneaten donuts. He sent Robert over to where Steve was so

BENNIGANS POTATO SOUP 3/4 ounce ham base (2 #40 scoop) 2 quart chicken stock 8 ounce yellow onion, diced 3 ounce margarine 2 pound potatoes, bite size 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 cup milk 3 ounce flour 3 ounce margarine Combine chicken stock in saucepan with ham base. Stir until lumps are gone. In separate stock pot: Melt first margarine measurement; add onion and sauté until transparent. Add potato bite size pieces and pepper. Add chicken stock mix and stir until well mixed. Bring mixture to a boil. In small pan, melt second margarine measure and add flour to create a roux. It should be light brown in color. When stock comes to a boil, add roux with a wire whisk. This will cause the soup to start thickening. Return to a boil. Slowly add the milk. If the soup is too thin, make additional roux and add it to the soup. If you need to do this, be sure to cook the roux until a tan color. This will get rid of the raw flour taste. If the soup is too thick, thin it out with more milk. Collected by Cathy Sugar Says: Where there is grief, I hope I offered some comfort. Where there is hate, I hope some love was found here.
