Mmmm, maple syrup. Thanks to Joe and Ilsa, I now know just how good this sticky stuff is for you. A good source of Zinc and Manganese, it's antioxidant properties make it an excellent addition to your cabinet or fridge. For those who want more info, I found a lot of good stuff here.
And, given the recent cold spell, complete with snow, a big plate of pancakes sound perfect just about now. Another favorite is roasted pecans coated in maple syrup. Just like Lays they are, "you can't eat just one" delicious.
Pears - Bosc, Yali and Seckel. The Yali, a Chinese variety, is new to me. Small and pretty - can't wait to try them.
The Red Bok Choy is also pretty - other than the color, there is nothing new about this. Stir fry it is.
Ground Cherries - neither "ground" or "cherries", these things are still very strange - even after 2 weeks of them.
Seriously, do these look like cherries to you? I'm going to have to work on this.....
