  Well, it was good BBQ to be sure! I wonder if it's even still there...was near the Union Station Mall there...don't recall the name. And yes, my tongue comes in handy...especially for getting BBQ sauce off my face :-D lol

It's actually fairly easy to make a regular pillar candle...just need a pan to melt the wax, the wax, a wick and a mold. For about $50 US you can make a dozen candles, give or take depending on the mold used, and after that it's just the cost of the wax and wicks.

Wow.I could really do with some candles.There used to be 4 or 5 shops here that sold candles and now there is one.Most places have horrible scented designer candles at $20 a pop.

Thanks, CeyWat! I wish I had taken pictures of the candles to post here...maybe I'll break out the box of supplies and make some more for the purpose :-)

Wax on, wax off...one of the two anyway :-D LOL

It was a place called Adam's Ribs somewhere near the Union Station Mall. At that point it was the best I'd had. I've since had better, but it's still somewhere in the top 20 :-)

Interesting list, Ford! Now are the drink-candles handsome enough that you'll *wax* poetic over them?

Oh, and can I ask what BBQ place drew you on such a drive? (I'm a former St. Lousian)
