[TheForge] Maple syrup

[Jeffrey Polaski]

So, do you know any restaurants that do it right? I'd love to try them,
and find out what I'm missing.

Lynn,
     I live here on the left coast and trying to find REAL sorghum syrup
is impossible.  You would not believe how many people think that Brair
Rabbit is real sorghum.  But then, finding a restaurant that serves
grits right, or anyone who knows what hoppin john is or how to collard
green and fat back.
     I miss my grandma's cookin is what I guess I'm trying to say.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
