Head northwest on on Franklin Rd for half a mile. Continue onto Pioneer Rd. for 1/5 mile. Turn left on PA-68/W. Main St for almost 3 miles. Turn left on Magill Rd. for 3/4 of a mile to cemetery.

Ham and chocolate syrup... Mmmmm! Should I be worried if I think that actually sounds yummy??
ReplyDeleteI know, I thought it sounded good too, smoky, salty, sweet--perfect mix. We use pork in sweet and sour dishes, so perhaps similar? "How did your human taste?" "Ah, a little like Easter supper ending with an ice cream sundae note."
ReplyDeleteI saw walking dead and George R hosted the night and was talking about what I thought was his new film....dead something. Me likey chocolate syrup. With ham? not so much.
