We don’t use maple syrup often, but a couple times a month we enjoy either pancakes or waffles, and when we do, we have them with butter and maple syrup.
Growing up, I remember we had either Log Cabin or Aunt Jemima syrup, which might have been maple flavored, or not, I’m not sure. It was fine, and I loved my Saturday pancakes and syrup.
Once living on my own, I didn’t make pancakes, if I wanted them I went out somewhere, and the syrup was whatever they offered.
Sometime in the 1990s I got a good griddle and started making pancakes for myself, and after some experiments settled on Trader Joe’s Dark Maple Syrup. It’s good, with a nice maple flavor and I like it.
Recently, after coming across an article on maple syrup, I decided to order and try Brown Family Farm syrup. 
It has good maple flavor and is richer tasting than the TJs, though that difference is hard to explain. We like it, especially on waffles, which Barbara prefers over pancakes. We alternate.
Finally I bought one more, Anderson’s Pure Maple Syrup, which has a deeper, darker taste, and is very good. 
Of the three, we’re not sure we have a favorite, they’re all different, so we use up one and then open another. Once we’ve gone through all three, we’ll decide which to stick with.
How about you? Do you use maple syrup? Do you have a favorite?
Also, do you prefer waffles or pancakes?

Drive-Thru Life: The Story of John Galardi, Founder of Wienerschnitzel, by John Galadriel, Galadriel Group 2018 ebook
I got this free ebook from the Der Wienerschnitzel website. It tells the story of Galardi deciding to start a fast food business, learning the ropes by working in a Taco Bell, then launching his first, and many successive stores. Pretty interesting.
Three early fantasy-adventure novelettes by Anderson, showing off his ability to write in the pulp fantasy-adventure vein, better than most.
Thirty-Ninth Dynasty when the “Mating of the Moons” occurs overhead, but the leaders of The Temple are sure they can assassinate the stranger first. Reading this, I kept thinking of Fritz Leiber’s Lankmar stories.
“Swordsman of Lost Terra” originally appearedm in the November 1951 issue of Planet Stories. Proud Kery of Broina felt like a ghost himself; shade of a madman flitting hopelessly to the citadel of Earth’s disinherited to recapture the fierce, resonant Pipes of Killorn—weapon of the gods—before they blared out the dirge of the world! A hint of Burroughs, in this one.
