The Ideal Maple Trees to Tap to Make SyrupĮven though you can use any maple tree to make maple syrup, not all maple trees are created equal for producing the sweetest syrup. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about the homemade maple syrup process. No matter which maple tree you have available, you can use it to make maple syrup, provided you have all the right information and follow the proper steps. The significant difference between various maple trees is the sugar concentration within the sap, which affects the syrup’s overall sweetness, making some trees better candidates than others. You can make maple syrup out of any maple tree species. Even maple syrups labeled as “natural” in the local grocery stores pale in comparison to homemade maple syrup-but can you make maple syrup from just any type of maple tree? Making maple syrup is a delicious way to take advantage of having a maple tree in your yard. Making Anne CODE? The character that recites Tennyson and has a wild imagination is now sitting with a laptop coding. Red Hair ? No mention of such a distinguishing anne feature. The BEST we get is an offand comment about Matthew working as an English professor at Temple (which is in North Philly, and not in West Philly like Drexel or even Penn, but I digress) Stacey taking them to the art mueseum?Ī Cheesestake? Wawa? An Eagles or Sixer's Jersey anywhere in sight? Even one use of Jawn? Nope Niltch Nada. Gilbert saving Anne after her and the Avonlea school girls are playing on boathouse row? No.Anne and Diana accidentally drinking spiked water ice? No. It feels like the author read the Anne of Green Gables Wikipedia, picked an American city and called it a day. As someone who considers herself somewhat of an Anne adaptation connoisseur, from the Philly burbs I was SO excited to read this adaptation. Knotted is the story of brothers Jake and Jarret, along with siblings Conor and Lorne. I felt invested all the way through, and I love when that happens! It hooked me from the start and didn't let go till the very last page. I started it in the evening and did not put it down until I finished. OMG Pam Godwin- what have you done to me with this book? This story was unputdownable. If you are worried about something specific, you can always PM me. I will say that this book is riddled with triggers, so be aware of that going in. I'm saying that because if you like dark smut reads, this book will probably do you right. That said, this book was fucking riveting and, while the above issue bothered ME for whatever reason, it definitely won't bother everyone thus, if you are a Godwin fan and/or the blurb interests you, you should absolutely still pick this up - and no, I'm not saying that to kiss ass cause this is an ARC. It didn't sit well with me, it didn't fit the characterization for that character up to that point (in my opinion), and it tainted the book for me from that point on. This is an ARC, so I need to be vague - but I just didn't like the actions of one of the main characters. Sadly, this was just not my favorite Pam Godwin, which sucks, cause it started off really strong for me. The book is illustrated with photographs that bring the era to life.Įlizabeth takes center stage in The Doctors Blackwell. Author Nimura has combed through mountains of documents to bring all of the siblings alive through their own words. The Blackwell family were copious letter writers. He died too soon, leaving his family with few resources other than brains and grit. To atone for his sins, Blackwell moved his family to Cincinnati where he hoped to plant sugar beets rather than participate in the odious Caribbean sugar trade. The parents were ardent abolitionists, despite Samuel Blackwell's sugar investments profiting from backbreaking slave labor. The family emigrated to New York in 1832. Nine Blackwell children survived past infancy. Nimura's account is not only an exhaustive biography, but also a window into egregious 19th century medical practices and the role these sisters played in building medical institutions.Įlizabeth Blackwell was born in Bristol, England in 1821 Emily in 1826. They achieved a series of near-impossible feats to become America's first and third certified women medical doctors.
