You forgot the glass of wine. Or is that just an Olive St. tradition?

I followed your recipe using my fine baking tools --forks and spoons --no Kitchen-Aide appliances in this household. But I am finally putting my fancy-schmancy Jade stove (that came with the house) to good use. I'll let you know how my concoction (with nuts--you know the whole pun thing) comes out.

Thanks Gavin for the recipe,
Mary
