Handy for a snack at any time at all. Great for morning or
afternoon teas. Ideal for watching late night Star Trek, with a liquer
chaser.

Notes
Suitable
for freezing. Excellent keeping qualities. This is the best way to transport
them, especially as air cargo.
No
microwaving! Allow rum-balls to warm ( following freezing ) until the aroma
is irresistible.
Safe
for the kiddies ... but only in very small quantities !
This is a potent mixture ! So don't drink and drive, okay
?
Feel
free to contact the chef. All comments welcome.
The Legion of Substitute Winstons was formed to honour the memory
of John Ono Lennon ( 9 Oct 1940 - 8 Dec 1980 ). One of his favourite nom-de-plumes
was Dr. Winston O'Boogie.
His light will shine forever.
