Log Cabin Syrup COMPANY PROFILE
Log Cabin® has been making authentic, maple tasting syrup for 120 years. Did you know the brand was created in honor of a true American hero? Minnesota grocer Patrick J. Towle introduced the brand in 1887, and named it in honor of his childhood hero and true American icon, President Abraham Lincoln. For all of you history buffs, you know that President Lincoln grew up in a log cabin, deep in the woods of Kentucky – hence the brand name LOG CABIN, chosen by Mr. Towle to honor President Lincoln. With a history like that, it is no surprise that Log Cabin continues to stand for the most authentic syrup, known for its unique maple taste. There is a good chance our grandfather’s grandfather grew up using Log Cabin syrup. Each bottle contains the time-tested recipe developed to deliver that authentic maple taste unique to the Log Cabin brand. Everyone in the family will enjoy Log Cabin, available in Original, Lite and Sugar Free varieties. Product Description During the last 10 years, Log Cabin has expanded beyond its original flavor, and introduced:
Log Cabin Lite: Enjoy the authentic maple taste with half the calories of regular syrup.
Log Cabin Sugar Free: We knew it would be hard to deliver a sugar free syrup that delivered the authentic maple taste of Log Cabin. And it was. It took our chefs three years to create the Log Cabin Sugar Free recipe. We think it is the best sugar free syrup you can buy.
Log Cabin Pure Maple Syrup: Just introduced this year, Log Cabin Pure Maple syrup is made with only Grade A, Dark Amber maple syrup sourced from the finest Sugar Maple Trees during the peak season. With no additives or preservatives, Log Cabin Pure Maple is 100% all natural. You can find Log Cabin Pure Maple in Sam’s Club. website: www.logcabinsyrups.com
Roland Merullo - "The Italian Summer: Golf, Food, and Family at Lake Como"
Born in Boston and raised in the working-class city of Revere, Massachusetts. He had a scholarship to Exeter Academy and graduated in 1971, went to Boston University for two years, transferred to Brown and graduated from Brown in 1975, then earned a Master's there in 1976. Roland has published seven novels and two books of non-fiction, and he and his family have traveled to Italy eight times in the past twelve years. He currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife Amanda and their two daughters, Alexandra and Juliana.
In the summer of 2007, novelist and golf fanatic Merullo (Golfing with God; Revere Beach Elegy) set off with his family in search of the slower ways of life on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Interspersing descriptions of various rounds of golf with trips to local restaurants and taverns, Merullo attempts to capture the sights, smells and sounds of the Italian and Swiss countryside. He recalls some of the characters that he and his family met that summer, such as Harold Lubberdink, real estate agent, who swept the family under his wing, leading them through various nooks and crannies of their temporary home country. Merullo takes readers on a harrowing journey through winding mountain roads in search of a perfect meal in a restaurant called La Baita. Finally, he tries to incorporate the slower pace of living into his own life, but finds it almost impossible. Part travel guide, part memoir, Merullo attempts to offer meditations on the richness of a life lived more slowly with good food and good company, but succeeds at little more than his frantic attempts to find a few good golf courses far away from home
