Actually, there probably isn't. The same forces (heat, moisture)
that cause the pills to go soft - I won't say "explode," ha, ha
- are the ones that degrade the nitroglycerin.

I think I'll live as long as I want with a minimum of
medical involvement. I used to go to the doctor more or
less regularly, with the sole incentive that if I didn't,
Carol would refuse to go to the doctor. Used to swallow
my pride two or three times a year. Now it's somewhat
less frequent than that.

Many echo people have seen me make this stuff, the
two-minute wonder dessert. I agree, no extra thickener
is necessary, but this clipping was from the '50s. But
one does need lots of booze to flambe the stuff (how
much depends on the height and greasiness of your
ceiling).
