Mapleine

I never thought I would ever do this....I purchased my own bottle of MAPLEINE! For those of you not "in the know" Mapleine is the genuine imitation maple flavoring ingredient in grandma's special maple syrup! (which, I believe has enough butter to harden your arteries, as David reports, and lots of mapleine, sugar, and water) Grandma (according to my children) makes the BEST PANCAKES and MAPLE SYRUP in the WORLD! No matter how often I make them, they never compare to grandma's. I am glad grandma has this distinction - because when it comes time to have them for dinner (Sami's suggestion) I won't be making them! Sami has agreed to take on the next generation of pancake making in our family. WOO HOO Sami!
