[Sca-cooks] SPICED RUM!?!

[Sue Clemenger]

Poor Daniel, putting up with rum barbarians! <g>
I'm not actually a huge rum fan, myself, although I did get a small 
tasted of some very lovely (imported) stuff in January.  Not even 
available in my entire state, darnitall!
Some folks like to put the spiced rums in hot drinks, which is what 
prompted my question--I like hot, soothing things when I'm sick like 
Lainie is, so I thought she might as well.
Now, tempt me with a really good vodka, or some Irish whiskey, and we 
might have to talk! ;o)

first Pelican meeting....
