Dark Earth Timeline Discussion

Perhaps, while ordering pancakes / French toast at a restaurant, I prefer fruit toppings over syrup.

That said, I'm using maple syrup to soak chicken and pork chops over night. I switch to maple syrup from sugar free version since maple syrup has 3 ingredients while sugar free is a dozen (?) Ingredients.

I think there is a single pancake restaurant in this state, and it serves the large American ones compared to the thinner Swedish ones I am accustomed to from childhood. I’ve never had French toast.

Maple syrup is a go-to addition to any barbecue sauce, and gets a big work out at Christmas when used as a glaze for meats as well as a sauce for roasted brussels sprouts with bacon and pecans.

I do wonder what the families of Sylvania look like.

[Simon Darkshade]

Happy, traditional and dwelling in classic colonial houses in many cases, engaging in many woodland-based leisure pursuits, and human.

Given the heavily wooded nature of the Upper Peninsula, the name fairly fell into place 15 years ago, coming as it did from Thomas Jefferson.

It saved us from "USS Superior" as a battleship name.

Other than Franklin, I hadn’t hears of any of them. A topic for later research.
