My mother makes the best Finnish pancakes and she has yet to share my Gram's recipe with me.

 

How bad a son could you possibly have been for your own mother not to share a pancake recipe with you? :D

I wish you guys would STOP. Waaaay back in 1953 or 54 I got to stay with grama and grandpa on their farm for a month in the early spring because the doctor thought I might be allergic to my sister.I know he was right but no one else did :sarcasm: .The smell of wood smoke and boiling sap on grandma's FULLY chromed wood stove has left me permently scarred. I can remember it vividely granpa saying Violet let the boy alone I am cold as I was feeding more wood into the firebox.Her response was Everton go get buckets of water for surely he will set the house on fire..The water was buckets of sap and I dont remember the whole process but after almost 60 years the smell and aroma is still there. :thumbsup_anim::thumbsup_anim:

Your gonna be busy next week! How much storage space you have? I'm worried I won't have enough! I've been grabbing every. Water jug or bucket I can find! I just have the one 55gal barrel!

I gotta count them but its between 175 and 200... i dont have much space - but ive got a ton of water jugs and a trip to crappy tire for big rubbermaids will solve any storage issues.
