I can safely say I've never eaten this kind of thing, but I'd give it a go. I like the sound of beer being in there!

So glad your tasty recipe got recognized, Rob. Could this be done without the "beer"? I love the other ingredients. Thanks for stopping by my work, too. Congratulations on your success in Sara's contest. Love, Carolyn
