I think there must be something in the keyboard set up that makes us do this because that is how I misspell it almost every single day when I am typing! Anyone else with this problem? It is a hardship when you have to type that word daily!

On another list, a question was raised. How are the chocolate bottles filled with liquors made? One cannot find a hole where a needle is inserted to inject the liquor. The bottoms all appear to be part of the mold and not attached after filling. I know they don't grow on trees, and can't figure this one out. Inquiring minds want to know!!! Thanks in advance!!!; ▶ Reply to This

You fill one half of the mold than clip them together and kind of turn them to cover entire mold. After chocolate is set you cut the top off of the bottle with a very warm knife. Fill the bottle and cap with tempered chocolate.
