Pancakes and syrup

Last night I cooked pancakes for the International students at Baptist union!  No griddles just on top of stove watching for the bubbles to rise up and burst!  Pitching the duds!  And it is a one person deal!  

What I learned, besides the fact that Indian students devour pancakes, is that when you have real maple syrup it requires 40 gallons of sap for one gallon of syrup!  I guess the decision may be is the effort worth it in the end when a bottle of syrup is so accessible, easy and cheap!

That is the question of the day for everything!  Thanks, Dan Abernot, for your lesson on Canada and syrup!
