The first one was enough to satisfy my craving

Cut them small and cook them until crunchy. Eat
like popcorn with beer or make into fried rice.

They are also OK sliced into coins and added to mac and cheese,
baked beans or green pea soup. I did that last one this time.

Same idea - add some needed protein while
deemphasizing the nature of the protein. I
wouldn't do that to a perfectly honorable
pea soup, though.

I endured a number of Netflix exposes of crime in the
agriculture sector [...] a case of beejacking
in California, where a gang of rustlers stole
hundreds of colonies from the almond ranches. I
must say that was vaguely kind of interesting.

Did they mention the great Canadian maple syrup heist?

Not in any episode I saw, but that's a small
sample. I know the perps were caught, but was
any of the syrup recovered?

Massachusetts Maple Syrup Producers Association

Must not be a very big association. The entire
state production is maybe 10% of what was stolen
in the Canadian caper.

The Maple Caper

whisk together at least 20 sec. Add ice and

Did I say weiner instead of wiener? How American of me!

The pea soup turned out quite good with turkey stock and wieners
instead of ham and ham stock; good quality Knackwurst would have
been even better though.

Not much of it. The perps emptied the large barrels, refilled
them with water and put the barrels back in the warehouse. Nobody
caught on for a year until a barrel was opened.

1 oz Sun Liquor Barrel Aged Rum
1 oz bourbon
1 oz maple syrup
1 oz heavy cream
1 whole egg
Grated nutmeg

I don't like cream or eggs in my drinks but a little (a very little)
maple syrup can do wonderful things to whisky, especially rough, raw
whisky.
