[TI] Updates, Pictures, etc

[Laura Johnson]

Paul,

We used a gallon sized ziplock bag to pipe in the filling - just cut a 
small hole in the corner of the bag.  It works very well especially if 
there are 2 of you doing it.  Much easier to clean up than my icing 
bags.  Sometimes the citron will get caught if we don't get it cut small 
enough.  I was really surprised that the shells made it to Denver in one 
piece.  Ray layered with paper towels in the container and I made sure 
there was nothing that could fall or crush the container on the way to 
Denver in the car.

Private message to coming to you regarding other information and questions
