I just realized I started a thread in this vein called "You reach for
your bottle of corn syrup......" about a month ago.

I shouldn't be obsessed with corn syrup runout, considering the little
it costs and the little I use. I sure am not going to have a spare on

I'll forget about making my own substitute, I guess.
