That's because you're both teetotalers. I'm not. Altho I don't imbibe
as much as I did when I wore a younger man's clothes.

Oh, I know they bring the mini-bottles of maple syrup with the pancakes.
I have a nice collection in my kitchen pantry. Some friend/relatives like
maple syrup so it works out.

No way I'm gonna drive an hour and a half for *anyone's* food - not just
fats food. If I'm already in the area for some legitimate reason - that's
a different story.

Got to rotate your stock brfore it's been in there so long you are asking
"What did this used to be?" Bv)=
I'm gonna be busy from Monday with all manner of medical stuff. Monday is
the start for the radiatio0n trreatments for the lung cancer. Then off to
my primary doctor in the afternoon. Got to call Monday to reschedule an
appointment with rheumatology that conflicts with my final radiation deal.
The oncologist assures me that I will not glow in the dark. DRAT!
When I make this I generally freeze half (or more) for future reference.
And I'll be pulling my last batch out the freezer for tonight's meal.
Sided with creamy cole slaw and Tatger Tots.
