Thanks to everybody for your advice. A friend at work told me I might
be able to use a stone pizza plate, maybe available at Kohl's or some-
where similar for not much. But tomorrow morning I'm going to give it
a shot, like Bob suggested was possible, with just the countertop.
I'll
let you know how it turns out. I stopped at a liquor store in town and
picked up some orange liqueur to try in it.

Thanks again, Michael
