   Hi Ben,   
      
   RH> Are you based in Oregon? That, and North Dakota are the only 2 states   
   RH> I've yet to visit. One of these days I'll get to them.   
      
    BC> Yes, i am based in Oregon.  I would be game for meeting up if you make   
    BC> it out here.   
      
   We've got an 8th grade graduation in AZ and a high school one in Utah   
   next year (grandkids) so will be heading out that way. Maybe we'll   
   decide to be gone a bit longer and go a bit further west; Oregon is one   
   of the 2 states I've never been to.   
      
   RH> We were   
   RH> also introduced to maple creemees, a Vermont specialty where maple syrup   
   RH> is blended with soft serve ice cream, decadent but yummy.   
      
    BC> I've seen articles about Canada's strategic Maple Syrup Reserve, and   
    BC> sometimes i have difficulty telling whether they are serious.  ;)   
      
   It does sound almost too good to be true.   
      
    BC> I'd love to try a maple creemee some day.  I've had family and   
    friends BC> with ice cream makers, but i've never tried my hand at   
    making it BC> myself.  I read that it can be easy to do using a mason   
    jar in the BC> freezer.   
      
   We have a small ice cream maker, haven't used it in a while but save the   
   maple creemees for when we're in Vermont. It's one of those things that   
   are best in the area of origin; since NC isn't a maple state, I don't   
   expect to find a creemee here. I do expect to find good pork bbq and   
   seafood. (G)   
      
      
    BC> Here's another sweet recipe.  We have a seasonal treat made in   
    BC> Washington called Applets and Cotlets.  It is basically the same thing   
    BC> referred to in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (Narnia Book 1)   
    BC> as Turkish Delight. If it were me, i'd skip the coloring and add some   
    BC> fruit juice, preserves, etc.   
      
   OK, I wasn't sure what Turkish Delight was. I half thought it was some   
   sort of candy like Turkish Taffee; now I know better.

    BC>  Categories: Candy   
    BC>       Yield: 1 Batch   
      
    BC>       3 tb Gelatin   
    BC>     1/2 c  Water; cold   
    BC>       1 lb Sugar   
    BC>     1/2 c  Water; hot   
    BC>     1/4 ts Salt   
    BC>       3 tb Lemon juice   
    BC>            Green coloring   
    BC>            Mint flavoring   
    BC>       1 c  Nuts; finely chopped
