hey, glad you're staying safe over there. it can be a frightening thing to live through. in my work, i encounter families who have lost it all, in some cases. people do not realize how traumatic an experience it can be.
this stuff was really good, and could have been a little better, had the stars aligned right. definitely a do-again project, and one that can be done over and over again, as far as i am concerned. much better than buying it at the store! my main goal will be to pack as much maple flavour as i can into the next one, since i think it goes perfectly with salty/sweet/smoky cured meat. the mapleine seems like it would have worked well, except i didn't use enough. we'll see how it goes!
