~FFF~ A Food Friendly Gift ~ Food Fight Friday ~ Thanks @thebigsweed and @farm-mom

That moment when you spent all day yesterday wrenching on a line-truck at work and you get up on Saturday morning and realize... CRAP! I didn't get my FoodFightFriday contender together... nor do I have any idea what I am gonna bring to the Coolest Kitchen on the Blochain. Trying my best to come up with a food based post to put together, my brain starts to hurt. So I sip on some coffee and give Sadie (our dog) her bowl of food and her medications. (She has been doing better by the way). The kitchen is a mess, Mama-Splatts didn't get much sleep last night, so I don't want to go banging around in the kitchen. ”Be vewy vewy quiet” The kids just got up and around so I better figure out a little something to tide them over until I make a full meal deal.

Now what better way to start the morning with some blueberry waffles topped with a little gift from some Food Fingers on the East Coast of the United States. Homemade Maple syrup made by @farm-mom and @thebigsweed... you have go to be kidding me!!

I arrived home around 7 pm Friday night to see a package sitting on the bed. Mama-Splatts had been waiting for me all day to finish fixing one of our trucks at work. Yes it always takes longer than expected. I looked at the address on the box, whipped out my pocket knife and opened it. I knew what was in it and had to get a taste of some Real Homemade Maple Syrup. Covered in dirt, grease and oil, I twist off the cap and dip my pinky in it... yes I washed my hands first... I think??? Well Mama-Splatts didn’t yell at me so I am pretty sure I did. WOW Such a clean, crisp, not overpowering, maple flavor. The perfect level of sweetness, this stuff must be made with the Love of a Family. :wink:wink.

Look at that, we just ran out of our store bought “100% natural” Maple syrup. KIDS!!! Are you guys ready to taste some Homemade Maple syrup? Well if you aren’t... too bad get your butts in here. At the Splatts house we don’t each much of the “processed” frozen food or “processed” food at that. But when you are in a pinch or in a hurry in the morning these frozen waffles are a good tasty option. These kids normally get the bacon and eggs style breakfast every morning.

@lil-splatts is like me, he is an early riser and tends to eat shortly after he wakes up. I think it is a safe bet that he approves 100% of this amazing homemade maple syrup.

@kuku-splatts was up and doing some doodling in her room on her new desk she got for Christmas. Then she came wandering into the disaster area known as the kitchen. I said, “Wait until you try this syrup!” So we popped a couple more Blueberry waffles down in the toaster. Waited a a minute or so then slapped a little butter on them. Then....

OOHHHH YEEEAAAAHHH

Of course you gotta pour some in between the two waffles. That would be disrespectful to the Maple Syrup Makers known as @thebigsweed and @farm-mom. Again... looks like an approval from @kuku-splatts.

Now you are probably wondering why I have my coffee cup in my cover image. Even if you aren’t wondering, I am gonna tell ya. You see you are reading my post so you are at my mercy. Muahahahaha... Okay... I ran out of honey yesterday. “What does honey have to do with your coffee cup in the cover image?” I put a little honey in my coffee in the morning, is that okay with you? It helps me start the day on the sweet foot... or is it tooth? Or the right foot? Why not the left? Nevermind... I figured it would be a great way to add a little sweet taste to my coffee. Pour a little maple syrup from some legendary Food Flingers into my cup-o-joe. You know that maple syrup that just so happened to show up when I ran out of honey. Coincidence... I think not!!

Check out that color!!! WOW. It might sound weird, the whole maple syrup and coffee idea, but don’t knock it until you try it.

I am running a little late with my contender and I hope my homies don’t fish-slap me too much for being a little late. I have a very valid excuse... yet again.... excuses are like A..... alrighty then...

Before I wrap this up, I want to send Big...

Thank You

To @thebigsweed and @farm-mom for their generous gift of some Homemade Maple Syrup. I am not one to blow smoke up your... but this is seriously the best maple syrup I have ever had. Just the right amount of sweetness and maple flavor, so smooth. Must be those few drops of sweat that end up in every bottle from all the hard work you both put into making this syrup.😉

So ya, I am gonna need a 55 gallon drum of your maple syrup when you get a chance. 😜😜😜

Until Next Time...

You need to stake more BEER (6 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

You Lucky Fluck!!! Soooo, is it the most delicious maple syrup you’ve ever tasted? What a great way to return home from work on a Friday, surprise Friday! I’d probably stash one for special occasions (because I’m a food stasher, yep, that’s me). Hahaha.

Man, gotta love the Steemit community. @farm-mom and @thebigsweed, such great virtual friends. I really do think it would be the coolest cookout to ever take place if one day all the food fighters got together in person, you know, a destination food fight. We’d have the best food in the world! Happy food fight @jlsplatts! Again, you better stash some of that 😉

If you guys could land somewhere, maybe we could send ya some of our delicious syrup. Unless of course it didn't cost $300 to ship it half way around the world🤨🤔🤩
Hope you are getting better sista, we are in your corner.

Hahaha… we probably won’t land for another year and I know all too well how much those crazy shipping costs can be. @dandays couldn’t find the type of t shirts he likes since leaving the US so we finally broke down and had someone ship some. The shipping wasn’t astronomical but it wasn’t cheap either. Bless your heart! We’ll just have to pass through NY as soon as we come back home. It’ll probably taste better in some good company anyway 😉

Coffee with honey or maple syrup.. I don't mind it.. because even though we have the honey coffee bean too, a lil sweet in coffee won't hurt👍 honey it syrup..better than pepper and lemon juice in my coffee 😁

What a lucky family to get a special gift from the legendary couple of #fff?

I don't think that syrup is going to last very long. ;)

@jlsplatts glad to see that the syrup was still in the bottle when it arrived. Thanks for a great review on the syrup my friend. With the 55 gallon of syrup ordered for next year, I figured you may need a shipment of IMG_9395.JPG

Oh sap! I can wait until spring when the maples start running around here. Maple Syrup festivals abound... nothing like homemade Maple Syrup.
