To all who may have seen the "Nieman-Marcus recipe" I sent to the list and overlooked my 1st apology: My apologies for finding myself the unwitting participant in perpetuating what everyone else apparently already knew to be a hoax. As the lady who sent it to me said, "I focused on the recipe and it sounded good, so thought I'd share my good fortune." I don't know about the recipe (I was going to try it out on my sister, later - she knows how to bake!), but from responses I've received, the story was apparently concocted a few years ago, and found to be a hoax. I did not hear of this at the time, and, being the gullible person I am, decided to pass the recipe along when I saw it. At the time, everybody on all the lists I subscribe to were talking about foods, so I thought I'd make some kind of contribution. Of course, I'm embarassed at being duped by the orginator -- but not as "embarassed" as the time a few years ago when I spent nearly $40.00 for a "family heirloom genealogy" book from some company in the states (I think the name of the company was Halberts.) I would have been even more embarassed if I'd bought two of the what turned out to be "elaborately packaged" telephone directories -- like I'd been thinking of! Again, my apologies: and please don't pass the recipe and its accompanying story along to your friends or acquaintances. Dennis ==== PENNA-DUTCH Mailing List ==== New? Looking for a quick connection?
