Dear Sun Spots: I have two questions I’m hoping you can answer. My first is where may I enroll in an EMT refresher course? And secondly, is it possible to refreeze meat after it has been thawed? Thank you for your continued help. – Marg Connell, No Town.

Answer: Contact Tri-County EMS, 300 Main St., Lewiston, ME 04240, 795-2880, e-mail: lebrunj@cmhc.org, Web site, www.tricountyems.org. The office is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. While it does not currently have one scheduled, you should keep an eye on its Web site for course and class listings.

Regarding your second question, according to the Maine Cooperative Extension Food Safety Facts (Bulletin 4107), posted online at www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/4107.htm, meat and poultry defrosted in the refrigerator may be refrozen before or after cooking. If thawed by other methods, you should cook before refreezing.

Dear Sun Spots: I enjoy your advice column.

In answer to Mike Roberge’s inquiry for maple syrup spread, (March 15 column): We purchased this product at a maple sugaring party in Canada. I’m certain that you may find this product at sugar houses once the maple syrup season opens. It is made by beating pure maple syrup until it becomes the consistency of butter. With no additives! It’s delicious on toast, crackers, hot biscuits and is also good on hot oatmeal. Good luck in finding it! – F.L., Mexico.
