 Jealous though I want some🤷🏽 
 I have been hoarding it. Its the brother in laws first attempt. 
 First attempt!? 

That's rad. It's he thinking of making a side business? Or is this shit hits the fan let me learn some skills type stuff? 

Because I'm very jealous that's rad 
 They bought a new place, but just had a kid so who knows if it happens again 
 Yeah it tends to happen again, once she stops nursing… 
 😄😄😄 
 Tell 'em congrats!!!  
 Ah. Well. Is buy it if I was up there🤷🏽


I guess you're the real hinge here. You can either be like ".... Yeah mid at best" or "brooooo I'm addicted I need more please!!" And that could greatly determine the future president of the United States of America. 🤷🏽

Wait... I think I just changed channels mid thought there... 


Oh well 🤷🏽 
 I can't 🤣🤣🤣 
 I know you’re in California, and I don’t know what kind of maple trees you have out there… but it’s worth mentioning that you can make maple syrup from maples that aren’t sugar maples. 

Acer saccharinum and Acer negundo, silver maple and boxelder, are two examples I’ve heard of which thrive in the area I’m from, which is much much too warm for sugar maples. There are probably even more maples that will work. 

You need more sap to make it but they still make syrup. 

You can also make syrup from birches and hickory trees, but it’ll taste different, of course.
You also have to look out with birch syrup because 1. It burns easily and 2. It contains xylitol which is deadly for dogs and cats to eat 
 Me? 

Yeah I have no maples. 

I have a while garden no maples. 


But if I could make syrup out of pomegranate I would definitely try🤷🏽

For now I'll have to settle for the cologne I made from various things in my garden.

 You can always make pomegranate molasses…
What is in the cologne???

 A lot of shit. I don't remember everything but I picked a bunch of roses and blossoms from my trees. I dug up some ginger. 

I know I took cinnamon and cloves from the pantry


A lot. I was just kind of smelling and seeing what I thought smelled good🤷🏽 never did it before. Just wondered if I could. 


How does one make pomegranate molasses because I will definitely try out. My pomegranates will be ready in September.  
 Sounds like it smells awesome. How long has it been aging?  It looks super dark. 

I think you get pomegranate molasses by gently reducing pomegranate juice until it’s thickened. 
 A month

I'm trying to find the picture I put on Nostr when I first did it

 I'm going to look up pomegranate molasses on YouTube and see if I can get some visual references 
 I think it's dark because I added dragons blood incense thinking it would turn red
