It sounds good. I might have to try it. That's pretty much how I make mine (with citrus, garlic, butter, etc), but never tried with the anchovy.<br /><br />A good friend of mine actually keeps bees in his backyard in a special container he ordered off the Internet. He can use smoke to interact with them and harvest the honey (never been stung once), and I'll tell you, it's the best honey I've ever tried. He always gives us a full jar at least once a year.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-23672275193027989162017-05-08T12:28:09.222-04:002017-05-08T12:28:09.222-04:00I didn't know that about bees.
