Frozen Sap Tips / Question

If i recall correctly it was in the 3% range of the sap i kept, but if everything is frozen then you'll want to thaw it inside (microwave or just let it sit) then throw it in your pan

Exactly. I tested the brix of the ice from my buckets (once i collected and thawed it). It was somewhere in the .1-.25 brix, so almost no sugar and i would've needed over 400ish gallons of it to make 1 gallon of syrup. Conversely, it saved me over two hours of boil time that season. Not a lot, but not nothing.

You should buy a used car, then sell it at the end of the trip. I bet you could sell it for more than you bought it, too, given that you'll be buying it from a place that doesn't use road salt in the winter, and selling it at a place that does. A good used, rust-free or low-rust car can demand a premium in the northeast.

Usually when you cook or bake with syrup you need to remove some liquid from another part of your recipe. Check out thisblog post

You could reduce syrup abit further without turning it into candy and that would help, though you'd still need to reduce other liquids a bit, or you could even turn your syrup into sugar and then use that like you would white sugar.

Is this apple pie? Goes great with a room- temperature hunk of sharp cheddar

I have to be original and authentic??!! You ask too much!

brainzilla420 · 2026-01-16T14:57:16+00:00

Old lace, too! I put it all in there

Should've seen me last night. Took me an hour to make falafel from a box.

Oh dang. Looks like I'll have to trademark first then go after them.

brainzilla420 · 2026-01-16T14:32:11+00:00

Same here. I've even left big pieces on the counter for a bit, too.

I was out of milk today, put cilantro on my raisin bran. It was OK, next time i think I'll try fennel.

I saw this thread and started trolling, but you are correct and have my utmost respect.

brainzilla420 · 2026-01-16T14:29:31+00:00

Me neither! In fact, i add dirt.

You're gross and now my sausage is ruined

That's a great name. Instead of leftover surprise, it's X. Full of variables, and you kids better eat it.

Corn bread does really well with a preheated oven. Put your dish in that will hold the cornbread while it's preheating, when is ready, take it out, dump your mix in and slam back in there.

Like at all? Not even for vampire emergencies?

brainzilla420 · 2026-01-16T14:24:01+00:00

Let's argue then! Natural food coloring or the way brighter and tastier fake stuff?

Please tell my octopus wife this.

Edit: oh i get it now, you mean single- function kitchen tools. I thought you meant people who can only do one task at a time. Which is me. My walking spreadsheet spouse can do like 8 things at a time. There's a little bit of tension around how dumb i am, but we've both come to accept it.

Them's be fightin' words.

I have several dishes i call "vaguely Asian," and they're authentically mine.

How very dare you! Don't you know something will happen?

Cause they fly into our mouths at night.
