Amazing - thank you for your hospitality and graciousness. It is not an easy thing to share family things as they are your private treasures and once shared, you do not know how people will treat your treasure. So again, I say thank you for sharing. TD

That does sound delicious. Thanks for sharing. Would the dark karo syrup be too strong?

...and Bob, did you tell your doctor you ate this? My doctor would not be happy...but I'll probably try it anyway.
