Watch the scoop where we make another addict out of an almost plate of spare ribs. So far we’ve given away our “droppings” to a pig farm and a homeless guy. We knew the stuff went off to some farm somewhere, but we never had a face to go with our new fan. It’s kind of nice that we can get rid of a large garbage bag full of this stuff ’cause it’s a pain finding room for it in the car. We look forward in keeping Penelope and the chickens happy.

OK, we try a new spin on kettle corn at the Springfield Farmers Market. As I mentioned in the video, somebody had come by our Framingham Farmers Market location and was selling maple syrup on that day. I told the vendor that I’ve seen a few people who make maple syrup also make maple kettle corn. They have access to the primary resource, which is maple syrup and it doesn’t cost that much more for the popcorn and oil. I’ve tried maple kettle corn from other vendors and I certainly like it, but after you’ve stuffed your face with an entire bag, it starts to end up being note one kind of flavor. I must have dumped at least $4 worth of maple syrup into the kettle for this batch, so financially one would take a hit if you did this on a regular basis.
