Syrup Saturday Constants

1.  Alliteration – ‘Syrup Saturday’ is one.  I will look for opportunities to use this throughout this blog.

2.  Love – The not so secret ingredient I add to all my cooking as a bonding agent.

3.  Syrup, Butter, Coffee, Calories, Babies, Breakfast and Family … not necessarily in that order.

4.  The spirit of Syrup Saturdays does not include (or preclude) long meal preparation time.

    “Sander’s simple syrup” (or “Sanders’ simple syrup”) works as an alliteration. Does it run afoul of any rules?

    • Greg says:

      No rules afouled but it is very similar to Sander Syrup. I added that yesterday. 1/2 a Syrup Saturday kudo awarded. If you wish to retract the alliteration you may do so without penalty.

      • Greg says:

        I promised Melissa that I would award her Kudo’s for Sander Syrup Saturday if I started awarding any at all. I have now awarded one (1/2 actually) so I am also going to award Melissa two (2) Syrup Saturday Kudos.

      In lieu of the soured milk (although Gramma would be proud), you can use either buttermilk or plain yogurt.
