What a lovely surprise! Thank You...

Wow, I've missed a couple of questions and couldn't even find the thread this morning! When I did I just scrolled down to the first list of names, so I thought I wasn't even ranking! Bit of a shock - but a nice shock! I love cooking all types of food so I look forward to receiving the book. Thanks again.

Sharlene (and that is my real name!)

[Pib]

You had to type faster MQ. Remember that points were awarded only to the three first answers.

A lot of people participated, unfortunately not fast enough to get any points.

 

[Musicqueen]

No problem...but you did post the questions at crazy hours...I have a brand new husband at home...no time to be in the computer all day...

Oh, well...that's fine...maybe I'll buy the book...
