Nanci,
I just wanted to tell you how much I love the cookbook and thank you for such speedy delivery. The Kit Kat bar you included in my order was a great surprise. Chocolate is a food group to me.

I have to tell you a funny story. Well, it's funny now but it wasn't at the time. I had $800.00 worth of groceries in my cart; I decided to use my Visa card to pay so that I could get the air miles with my purchase. The idea of using the Visa to pay for groceries had always gone against me for some reason but I thought, why not? I pay the Visa card off every month anyway and I may as well get those miles. Well wouldn't you know for some reason my card was rejected. The Visa company said it was a problem with the store and the store said it was a problem with Visa. ???? I knew my credit was good. Visa said my credit was good. After 45 minutes, several phone calls and a lot of embarrassment, I left the store without the $800.00 worth of groceries. When I got home there was a message for me to return a phone call. It was the Visa company telling me someone was trying to charge $800.00 at the store. I knew that! A few days later I was able to get all my stuff bought and paid for with my Visa card. I froze enough meals to last over two months for my family of eight (10 on weekends, all males, myself excluded, with big appetites).

Blessings,

Gloria E.
