I would really like to try this, but would rather not pay $100 + S&H.<br /><br />Feel free to contact me at: correus @ yahoo dot com<br /><br />Thanks for such an awesome site!<br /><br />LarryLarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408461443079183834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-41921865204956281082010-01-31T19:19:45.659-08:002010-01-31T19:19:45.659-08:00Carolyn> This is something I have wanted to do ...Carolyn> This is something I have wanted to do for years... its use in food is legendary... it was great to try it at last... you should try!Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-28569354914153827472010-01-28T20:25:53.020-08:002010-01-28T20:25:53.020-08:00I have never seen a chunk of this, but I have hear...I have never seen a chunk of this, but I have heard of it.
