So simple :) I havent had a chance to try it out yet, but I can see that it will work very nicely. I would tend to use this as a thickener, I'm storing it in an airtight container until i need it and will look for an opportunity to try it out very soon. Thanks kerfuffle, excellent idea! made for Spring PAC 2012
