That sounds about perfect, @Smithy. Not big enough to create agony if it comes out poorly; but just dense enough to cook slowly.
On the peanut-butter-whiskey . . . I confess that I am ok with it. I mean, think of how it might play in a hard sauce . . . . I wouldn't drink it neat, but I'm sure I could figure something out.
But my real question is for @kayb -- do you eat the full quarter each year? I realize I don't know anything about your household size. I've been splitting quarters with a friend, but the jealousy is beginning to get the best of me. I'm trying to figure out if I can handle a whole quarter at a time. [And I recognize -- this is not exactly a question that can be answered by one's Internet Friends . . . ].
