Thanks, Ranvaig. I made another batch tonight, following the instructions
_exactly_, and we'll see what we get. Maybe it'll work, maybe not- Rob came
in as I was just pouring it to chill it, and I suspect he has the same
effect on fudge that I have on sewing machines- we'll see ;-) If this
doesn't work as well as I like, I'll get a candy thermometer and get all
scientific about it ;-)

Anyway, thanks, all, and Johnna, I'm looking forwrd to what you come up
with...
