I'm not sure what they do with the ones I"ve seen a recipe that calls
for butter and honey. They're only 35 cents each and I drive past the

I got a new job just as I started that project so it's on the back
burner along with 100 other fun projects. I don't even have time to
read usenet much anymore and I'm posting now while I'm thawing out

done. Pita bread pizzas tonight if I still have any energy.
