As do we, now. Yesterday was a two-fer. I made 2 rfc found
recipes, and both were winners.

That's what got my attention. Thought it would make a nice subtle
flavored bourbon desert to go with my bourbon nightcap. Not so
subtle, thank you!

I can't believe how it filled the house with it's wonderful scent for
55 minutes [took 10 minutes longer than stated in recipe] but still
tasted *strongly* of bourbon when cooled.

I wonder if the lemon fixes the flavor?

Good one-- despite my store-bought crust. I think I'll do custard
cups next time-- or use a pecan crust of some sort.

Topped with whipped cream.
