Hi Dave,

 RH> Easier just to buy the colored sugar; I've seen it for sale.

 DD> But nice to know if you've none on hand and it's a long trudge to the
 DD> market. Just remember not to use Red Dye #3 as it has been declared
 DD> a carcinogen and is to be banned in USA.

 RH> True, especially if bad weather is set to move in. We were out picking
 RH> up some groceries (and supplies to cook for the Legion tomorrow) this
 RH> afternoon. Weather is supposed to move in (not sure if it will be snow,
 RH> ice, rain or what) on Friday so everybody is out stocking up.

 DD> According to the weather maps I've seen and the news items I've read
 DD> there is a major system coming your way from Texas. Be sure to thank
 DD> them properly after you dig out.  Bv)=

I know, it's 3 pm, no snow yet but it's not too far away. Not sure how
much of each we're going to get but we're going to get several inches,
combined, of nasty weather. Not the 18" of snow we got in Swansboro,
first week end of March, 1980, but the sleet, ice and or freezing rain
will be rough. Then it'll thaw during the day, refreeze at night for
several days which will create black ice.

 DD> Mr? I'm more likely to have multi-coloured "sprinkles" on hand.

 RH> I don't really keep much of anything like that on hand.

 DD> I don't either. But there's already a half-jar of them left over from
 DD> a batch of birthday cupcakes I made some time ago. They don't spoil
 DD> and
 DD> there's no "use-by" date on the jar.  Bv)=

I've got a partila jar of Christmas sprinkles I picked up for half price
at the post Christmas clear out at Wal-Mart a few years back. Used some
of them for something but need to do some baking so I can sprinkle a few
more on the icing. (G)
