FEC DTN-22 with GP38-2 #508 is handling corn syrup tanks at Savage Services (formerly Florida Bulk Transfer) on CIS Lead 3. The 508 is an oddball GP38-2 with RCO functions possible and a modified Going Places livery with the nose touched up in the glossy blue, albeit with the modernized GPIF logo. The boxcar to the left of frame is part of the train's consist for Dependable Warehouse, but they didn't get the load in time due to Hours of Service.
I can't get enough of these! Pecans baked with maple syrup. Chuck a bag of pecans on a baking tray. Liberally drizzle with maple syrup (actually douse them in the stuff) . Bake at 170C fan for 10 mins. Cool. Try not to eat them all at once!* Topping up my treat jar this evening has raised my mood :-)
*Those with nut allergies can ignore and look on with jealous eyes!
Explored; highest position #226, 2-7-2012. Taken in sunlight coming through basement window. The "Ball" jar contains maple syrup from my brother-in-law's property in northern Wisconsin. He makes it every year and we are the grateful recipients of his work. The "Kerr" jar contains wild plum jam that I make from local (central Nebraska) wild plums. Delicious! IMVHO, this is the best photo I've ever taken.
I borrowed this from my husband's collection of antique medicine bottles. I found an article in the St. John Daily Sun dated Jan. 25, 1905 recommending this product (see comments).

Late Breakfast...made a short stack of pancakes. Usually like to add bacon, but didn't want to cook it. Can only eat two of these.

Æblesirup, Uge 20, Gl. Estrup, Auning
In the basement of Gl. Estrup castle, stands among other things Apple Syrup from October 2015. You use 1 liter of apple juice, 750 g of cane sugar and 1 rod of vanilla. 1. Pour 1 liter of apple juice into the pan and bring to a boil. 2. Boil it in until 7.5 dl remains. 3. Pour sugar and vanilla grains and rod into the pan. 4. Dissolve the sugar and cook the mass for about 1/2 hour - until the juice becomes thick as syrup. 5. Taste your apple syrup. 6. Pour your apple syrup onto scaled bottles - and give it a nice label.
The past week marked a classic start to the beginning of maple syrup season in southwest Michigan, with daytime temps warming to the mid-40s F and nighttime temps dropping to the mid-20s F.

“I have just been chatting to Icecap and he was showing me some stuff called syrup that he got last time he went home to Coldland. He said it comes from a tree called the Maple tree, so he calls it Maple Syrup.” Said Sky looking about to see who was listening.
“What does he do with this syrup, Sky? I have not heard of it before.” Said Bertie.
“He eats it, he was saying that it is nice when put on the fish I get him. He wants me to find out if the fish shop has any.”
“Did you taste it, Sky?” Asked Theo.
“I did, but not on fish, that sounded yuck. It is very sweet and almost as good as honey. I did ask if he had a spare bottle for all of us to try but sadly, he is low, thus wanting me to find him more. He says he does not want to ask Ellie to take him there again for it takes so long with her going to so many places until she finds the right one.”
“Yes, that new super place finder she has, is causing her a problem sorting out how to use it. She says she is flying downside up lots more now so she can see where she is as she does not trust the new finder.” Said Posh Bear shaking his head sadly.
“Sky how do you get this syrup from a tree into a bottle, I mean, I have not seen any trees around here that have taps on them?” Asked Theo.
“I was wondering that too, Sky.” Said Barnaby looking up to his hero for an answer.
“It is only in Coldland, near where Icecap is from, that trees have taps on them. I have not seen them myself, but that is what Icecap told me.” Explained Sky.
“I think Icecap making things up, Sky. He is having some fun like when he asked you all those funny and impossible questions a few sleeps ago.” Laughed Bertie.
“Yes, he wanted to know why our mouth is on the front of our face and not at the back. I couldn’t work out why.” Said Barnaby.
“I think Sky was right, it is because it is easier to keep your teeth clean at the front.” Said Theo after some thought.
“Yes, and easier to eat our honey, it would get very messy if we could not see where our mouth was and have to use a mirror.” Said Barnaby.
“But it would be easier to smile when walking away from friends having chatted to them.” Said Bertie looking around for other bears to agree with him. “They could see you smile them.”
“Drinking would be hard if your mouth was at the back of your head.” Said Barnaby.
“No, that would be easy, Barnaby, you could use one of those tube thingies that hoomans use at times.” Bertie replied.
“I thought we all agreed it was mostly because it would cause confusion for hoomans as to if they should use a bib to tie under their mouths or a cape that they now use over their shoulders.” Said Posh Bear smiling with his friends at the silliness of the conversation.
“No, I do not agree, Posh, I think if it were a cape or bib would depend on the size of the mouth of the hooman and how much they intended to stuff in it.” Said Bertie.
“Well, there is that too.” Agreed Posh Bear.
“You are very quiet, Sky, what do you think?” Asked Bertie.
“I think it is time to get ourselves sorted out as we have a delivery coming and we need to be ready to take our stuff off before the man sees it. As for your discussion about mouths, I feel it is not worthy for a genius like myself to comment on.” Said Sky looking very serious.
“Sky is right, come on the man has finished, we need to get the space ready for our honey and chocolate. Is there much on this delivery, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Yes, far more than usual as I am ordering for Theo as well as the rest of us. Plus, I hasten to add, Ellie asked me to tag on her bananas. We will need to find a place for them until she wakes up as she is sleeping now.” Said Sky looking around as the bears began to move from the sofa.
“Sky, last time we had those banana thingies, Ellie said that most of them were empty when she opened them. She was quite upset.” Said Barnaby.
“I am sure that these ones will be fine, I had a word with Paddington and he told me the best place to get them from.” Said Sky smiling gently.
This gentleman has about the best spot in the Byward Market. Lots of foot traffic, sunshine, people in a good mood because of the mild weather - sales are up!
Clearing up from the pancake breakfast and I noticed this perfect 'drop' of syrup on the table mat. Instead of wiping it down I, of course, grabbed the camera, tripod, lenses etc and set about getting the right location and POV to do the globule justice.
And the last evening of the Christmas lights.
One of my attempts for the FlickrFriday Gold theme. On reflection maybe I could have posted this rather than the one I did.
Still, it is my flickr and i can post it to my stream if I want to. ...So i have. I really should have banged the lid down flat before I took the picture.
& some Sunday evening music if you like:
