I was thinking carry on. Hopefully the amount you can carry on will be back to normal. Good point. I was thinking carry on. Hopefully the amount you can carry on will be back to normal.

You might have enough trouble getting all those bottles through TSA checks as it is. Please don’t forsake others in your circle, my friend.

Though if I were to bring you anything it would be a growler of stout from a microbrewery here in NC that makes this stuff look like swill. I think that could be arranged.

Maybe a worthwhile soul could bring some out this way next time he passes through? Paypal'd in advance, of course. That stout is not available out here on the frontier…

I tried to make an earl grey truffle but didn't use enough tea. The mix I have is 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to 1 pound of chocolate. Don't know if the SB diet would approve of that.

(I guessed on the amt of chocolate needed for the ganache and guessed wrong) I steeped 4 bags of green tea - 2 mint, 2 regular -in the half and half before mixing in the chocolate. The resulting "pudding" was quite tasty!! And loaded with anti-oxidants! I got the recipe from the South Beach cookbook - but using the mint teabags was my idea. Now if I will just properly measure the chocolate next time.... I attempted to make truffles right before Christmas.
