Slop"py knows how to make the Magic happen! (final part)

Great things build to a crescendo!  Food may be the Greatest display of such a finale.  What else can evoke such memories more than taste.  It has the ability to transform our minds to a specific time and place in our past, nearly to the exact moment!  Food is like our own personal time capsule!  If we haven't been transported to a space in time, then maybe this is the moment that you will be sent right back to years down the road.... Who knows!  

This is the final piece to the famous or "infamous" slop sauce that has many of my friends foaming at the mouth.  I hope you enjoy these recipes and sure hope that there's one or two that you can take, prepare and make memories!  From Quinney's family (both at home and from the good ole restaurant days), Cheers!!!
