You are Welcome ... I going to make one batch for Holiday baskets ... You are right it is a quick and easy recipe! (and taste great)
our strawberries are finally in season up here! really late! but planning on hitting the strawberry farm this weekend and go pickin! Everything is late up here it's crazy. too much rain, not enough heat however this week they predict a super warm up and we are expected to hit 100 degrees by thursday. think I might have to make some floating bed covers for most of my garden so the direct sun doesn't burn things. hmmm
This would be THE thing to have.... if... I mean who wants to rough it? "SHTF Diary Entry 7/9/2012: Survived the latest zombie attack! Sure glad I got that Ruger 10/22 -- semi auto is awesome and doesnt attract too much attention. Gonna sit on the roof tonight and see if I can beat my last record of 53 head shots -- gonna be a lot of work to clean up tomorrow morning! DW is dealing with the situation better since I showed her we have these sundaes-in-a-jar! Oh the power of chocolate and good entertainment!!"
