Blackstrap Molasses

I was doing a search for lightweight camping gear of different types, to minimize the weight I will be carrying. Some how or other I burrowed so deep into this today, that it is now midnight, and I am looking at blackstrap molasses.

I am not sure how my mind gets to these places, most of the time.

At any rate, blackstrap molasses seems to have redeeming qualities that other sweeteners do not. I remember when I was younger, my grandmother had molasses on the table when she made biscuits. I do not even remember what molasses tastes like. I also read from a couple of different sources that when you mix milk with two tablespoons of molasses, it not only tastes really good, it acts as a cleanser to you digestive tract. Supposedly it works in two hours. I am not sure that I need to be cleaned up/out, but if I did...

I am trying to locate a good, inexpensive, supplier of unsulphured blackstrap molasses just to try it again. If nothing else, I am sure it will be good on biscuits. Once I taste it I am sure some old memories around my grandparents' breakast table will come flooding back. I would try if for no other reason than that possibility.

Oh yeah, I was also looking for smaller size cast iron cookware. I am not having any luck with that, so if anyone knows of some please let me know. I know I can get lighter cookware (and I do have some already), but it will stand up to some serious abuse that my anodized cookware will not.

Be happy, being free.
