Hi folks
    Sorry this recipe seems in bad order. My computer has lost its mind and does exactly what it wants. In the near future I am going to get a new puter and then maybe I can get this recipe down much nicer. I just had this thing in to be fixed and he did all he could and it is not much better. It's four years old so I guess it is on it's last legs.  Thanks for putting up with us.
