Oh she did put a lot of work into it, she opened up that bottle which *was* a lot of work cause it has all that wire and tinfoil over the cork that had printed on it in little green letters
"Creme de Menthe" liqueur..
When we lived back East, my mom used to make that same very sauce to put over vanilla ice cream.
However, just to prove that I'm not a complete b*tch I'll swap a story.
My Grandfather who was in his 90's used to send us the best shortbread every year. It was so good.
And we'd think how amazing that was that he was in his 90's and still making that shortbread.Well the year he died,
But that ****SUPER SPOOKY**** Christmas we still got a box of shortbread.His wife Mary sent it to us. It turned out they'd been buying it at the bakery across the street.
