I miss those old fashioned drug stores. I miss family-owned hardware
stores, too, which have mostly been driven to extinction by Home Depot and
Lowe's.

Scott, try to find a place that sells cake & candy supplies as Melba's
Jammin' suggested. I am certain it was the alcohol content in the extract
that caused the "harshness" you described.
