Personal Notes:
These Mints are a family recipe of Molly McNamara's and were made for her wedding, marrying Christopher McNamara, Terry's brother. After the wedding, a handful of mints were found in Porfi's pocket. Not sure how they got there, he said, but reports happy to save for later....with a wink and a smile.
