Dear Sue; It's times like this I wish we were all closer geographically. Grins. It sounds like a yummy recipe, maybe someday I can talk someone here into trying it out. With it being just Doug and I who eat, and me being overweight, baking something like that would be a definite no-no. Sampling on the other hand… wink. Have a very happy new year!
