Hey, I have those same bottles of syrup in my cupboard! I plan on using a little bit today since I have a small batch of pears to can. Wow, the popcorn balls and lace cookies look really yummy.

I should get extra awards at Weight Watchers for losing weight in spite of reading my sister's blog. Love T
