December BOM

Hon, you take care of your family and loved ones. Don't give this place another thought. We'll be here to hug you and comfort you when you are able to get back to us. In the meantime just know we are sending prayers to you and all of yours for peace of mind and heart and strength to bear the unbearable.

I believe its a Star Trek reference. True story: Whilst in the US Air Force in the mid 1980's, I was assigned to a super secret government agency. Ever curious, I was looking through the computer file system (I should have been working) when I found a directory that was named "menu." Hmm, thinks I, this is where the will keep all those neat programs. Nope. It was a super secret recipe repository. Being a true geek, this name caught my eye. I opened it and copied it out by hand (no printers were attached to the system). The recipe and I barely made it out with our lives.

According to the label on my pack -

Ingredients: Hardened Coconut Oil, Soya Bean Lecithin Classified as "Vegetable Shortening"

White, sets hard when chilled. Cutting the butter with copha in a crumb base gives a "harder" more solid base that cuts better into slices.

Do you guys ever make chocolate crackles from Kellogg's Rice Bubbles? Copha is the stuff we melt to mix it. You probably know it by another name.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Melissa! We'll take the blocks whenever you can get to them.

I think from earlier discussions on the group it is 'Australian' and not available overseas.
