Thanks Dale and Michelle - it was delicious!

Being an "apprentice" in the kitchen, this looks doable . It also looks like something I could hurt myself with... Just don't give me a "Black Forest" recipe or I'll be owing ya for life . Thanks. Tom

Youngsters! Now that we buy our artifical "spreads" cube's are unheard of. Like when I tried to teach my young niece how to read a clock, all she knew was digital. This surfaced when I said it was a quarter to 10 and not 9:45.

Thank's Can't wait to try the recipe and since we are only 2 old farts I think I see some pounds coming my way.
