Absolutely. I sure wood. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 10:28pm on 03/14/14

Oh sure Maria- it probably would even taste better with butter. [NT] - CathyZ from Kauai - 10:49pm on 03/14/14

Great - I'd been wondering if the specific "corn oil margarine" was for a reason, taste maybe. Thxs! [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 3:46pm on 03/15/14
