I have had some lemon skin sitting in 95% alcohol for about three weeks now. I don't know when I will add the syrup, but apparently it should be around 2 - 12 weeks. It's wonderful stuff, but shouldn't be more than about 40%. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- --

Did you actually read what I was responding to, or is this just a knee-jerk reaction to one of my posts? I'm not setting Americans against Italians, I'm trying to show that Americans aren't much different than anyone else. See the statements: "An unpopular law is much more likely to be observed in the USA than Italy in my opinion," and "Although it's true America has become far more a nation of sheep than it was then"? I would reckon the era of sheepdom for the USA might have been the 1950s, though. ************* DAVE HATUNEN (hatunen(a)cox.net) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps *
