Thanks.

I'll add this to the file. No, I hadn't realized I had directions already
on how to use it. I imagine they are on the can anyway.

Somerset, NJ does seem like a more likely place to find Russian immigrents
and Russian ethnic food stores than Austin, Tx.

Now that you mention it, I think I had planned to go last year, but the
SCA-Cooks get-together conflicted so I couldn't.

I was thinking you might want to, but I didn't want to sound greedy
and there might not be a demand. Can you make it on the spot if you
determine that the demand is greater than expected or does it have
to sit or cool for a while? That might minimize any waste.
