Same here as others. I have had quite a few frozen this winter, bound to have more over the next week with these temps dropping again.
If they are clean I'll scramble them. If not, the critters down in the creek bottom get them.
I have never tried to make cheese but love eating it. It would be great to have a book on small batch cheese making. The book would be extra helpful if a chapter on tools needed and where to get or make them.
I've made maple syrup from silver maple sap a few times. It takes about a third more sap to get to the same sweetness but better than waiting 20 years for sugar Maples to grow. There is some satisfaction in having the syrup under your belt when you're cleaning up the the mess of helicopters and limbs dropped by these huge trees.Time to tap is now in the Midwestern states.
