Mmmm - great recipe!!
A little sidebar -have you heard that Starbucks is going to have quotes from Rick Warren on their cups?
Does Spirituality Mix with Commerece?
LOS ANGELES - Starting in the spring, Starbucks is reportedly planning to include a spiritually-inspired quotation on its coffee cups.
The coffee company wants customers to think as they drink, but the words, which will come from Rev. Rick Warren, the author of the inspirational best-seller “The Purpose-driven Life,” look set to take the strategy to a higher level by invoking the name of the Almighty for the first time.

i thought this company was a little hard on this lady.
love barry
Sent to me by a friend:
A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is
A Very expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt
for $50.00. Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe In
Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are
such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus cookie." It was
so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, and the
waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not, but you can buy the recipe."
Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty-it's
a great deal!" I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my tab.
Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus
charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent
$9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the
bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe-$250.00". That was
outrageous! I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the
waitress said it was "two fifty", which clearly does not mean "two
hundred and fifty dollars" by any reasonable interpretation of the
phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money
because, according to them, "What
the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen
the recipe. We absolutely will not refund your money at this
point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminal
statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas. I threatened to
report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney
General's office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what
you want. Don't bother
thinking of how you can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of
your money back." I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now
I'm going to have $250 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see
to it that every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail
account has a $250 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus...for free. She
replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "Well, perhaps you should have thought of
that before you ripped me off!" and slammed down the phone. So here it is!
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of.
I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make
another penny off of this recipe!
NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES (Recipe may be halved)
2 cups butter
24 oz. chocolate chips
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar

4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the
butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour,
oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey
Bar and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie
sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.
PLEASE READ THE RECIPE AND SEND IT TO EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN
E-MAIL ADDRESS! THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC!!
Even if the people on your e-mail list don't eat sweets send it
to them and ask them to pass it on. Let's make sure we get these ladies $250.00 worth.
Enjoy the cookies, they are good.....
the end
