Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 ... my first thought was a Highland sword dance, then I looked at snowy/icy conditions and considered I'd get about one dancing step and land squarely on my dignity (landing your dignity on one of those hardwood war clubs would hurt!) -- so decided to wait for someone else to reply! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 I can attest to this. A friend of Father's was a captured Wehrmacht soldier, who spent time here, as a POW, and immigrated back, with his family, as soon as he could. In the "Small World" category, my wife went to school with one of his daughters and I knew the daughter as a Social Worker for the City. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious when I saw the meme. I think the suggestion by @Michigan Slimcould definitely be viable. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 On 6/25/2023 at 9:21 PM, Alpo said: I read of this when I was a little kid. Indians, when boiling the sap down to make syrup, would take a spoonful of the hot syrup and swirl it out on the snow - like you're making a funnel cake. The snow would freeze the hot syrup, making maple sugar candy, which the Indian kids would scarf up. What kind of containers did the Indians boil the syrup in?

From my Grandmother, I recall a story of her grandparents, heating water in a birch bark container. It can be done,if the flames are kept low and below the level of the water. I've never tried it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also dehydrate it to make hard sugar.  The author did it both with hot stones and by suspending the bark container over a low heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
