Bill, I like the overall look of this one. I wasn't going to mention the massive glob of wax squirting out the butt, but sense you've included it in the recipe...what kind of wax do you recommend for that part?

That depends on what you're serving for dinner; the really tacky stuff works well if you're having spicy food, but if you're doing a lot of fiber, you'll want something smooth like plain bee's wax ...

Bill,
This edition is fantastic! I really didn't notice the blob of wax. This has got to be a killer on anyone's water! Please keep them coming friend!
