Thanks Front-Ranger!
I heard that Elton did sing Rocket Man when he was here! Glad that that was great joy for you! I Love your expression! Great feelings and happy one you do have to cherish!
Concerning that bonbon, I do NOT make it anymore, because the candy store that my friend (Richard) had... does not exists anymore since his passing into heaven; it was 3rd generation one and people came from all over the world to get these bonbons, and some of the candies that were, was his only creation - and I know only some of his secret recipes... not all! He and I, we made candy canes so long that they made headlines in newspapers! It was fun, but hard work!
Even if most co.s fake recipes, Richard ONLY used natural herbs!! There is only one now store left, that I know about. It is in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. You can go there. Wonderful different candies! They also have two world reknowned Shaskespeare theatres, worth your while to see a play or many there!!
If you can not go, then maybe I can get you some candy and mail it to you? When I go next time in late April... on my way to Montreal to create an exhibition of my paintings I created.
For now, all I can say is that I aim to refind my notes on some candy recipes that we made (which might take months to find), but my memory fails me!
The candy is called: horehound! Do you know about it?
Mother started a dry throat and took some yesterday! So did my brother who visited us. I always carry some, just in case, on my long trips!
You must check to see if done with NATURAL horehound herb, maybe you will find some your way? Like at a all-natural-food store?
Will try to find recipe for you soonest!
Keep care... since the Winter months are dry indoors, refresh your throat with real bonbons and juices may I suggest,
hugs!
