For a moment there I was wishing I was Al.   

Now I'm thinking of that scene in Grumpier Old Men where Sophia Loren comes in the bar & talks to Walter Matthau  & at the end he yells  .....
You evil temptress!

Sorry I never saw it..... We have made so much of it I saw the title and just avoided it as I am kinda tired of seeing the stuff for a while.....  

Thanks anyhow but we got plenty.

mines better than yours  LOL


do you use ground cinnamon or cinnamon oil in yours?

[cathryn]

if this is ok with the Boss, id donate 2 jars to be auctioned off(one from each batch) to be auctioned off together with the  proceeds going top the site.

ill pay the shipping.

[FinsnFur]

Cool idea. Let me know what the boss says.
If he hassles ya, there's enough of us here to take him out.

[pitw]

  I just checked with the "boss" and she said "go for it".   Be kinda/sorta nice if it were two auctions . 

[cathryn]
