By Jackie Flaten   Inspired by the EatAtBurp site (great find, by the way!), I am compelled to experiment with simple syrups infused with herbs.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

By Jackie Flaten Growing up in the 1970s in a traditional small town I heard, over the howling North Dakota wind, the tantalizing phrase “Women’s Lib.” You don’t hear this anymore because the terminology is considered old-fashioned, embarrassing even.
