Well, we’ve come to the end of the Crocktale Hour experience. I hope you enjoyed it. It was just a recipe we tried and we will either refine it or never make it again. Depends on a whole host of factors the least of which is how much I enjoyed making it. If that were the only consideration, you’d be getting one every day. Talkers gotta talk and I hope you didn’t mind listening. It’s time I was on my way.
