Sure do. I was only pointing out an issue of clarity, since to many 
Americans, and that seems to be most of the list, "caramel sauce" is 
still a very specific thing, and sometimes that specific thing is 
that light-brown goo in a jar that people sometimes microwave and put 
over ice cream. If Ana had said, "Make a sugar syrup and caramelize 
it lightly," or some such, there'd have been no need for 
clarification.  Probably most of us would have figured it out, but it 
never hurts to ask.

Hmmm... I remember once making a rum hollandaise (IOW, sweetened and 
with just a dash of lemon, but no vinegar, and, of course, some rum) 
at one point, and serving it with paper-thin slices of pineapple... I 
wonder... Hmmm...

Adamantius, who might look at bread these days if it were 
whole-grain, but otherwise...
