Pretty much... I'd usually take the second loaf to my family's Christmas
get-together... and my family appreciated it, too...  :)  I even made it
for a couple of years after we were no longer going to Syracuse...

 RH> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, never thought about that. I'll give it a look see.

Gotta be a possibility anyway..  :)

There was some of that in the column, too... but it was pretty broad in
what was asked and answered...  :)

 NB>>> One would think!   :)

 RH> We'll find out, have to e-mail them and ask how things are going

Good to keep in touch, especially with what they're dealing with...
