Hi everyone. This isn't exactly ecofem material, but it may make for a smile
on an otherwise bleary end-of-semester-kind-of day. :) Cheers!

>>>Well, I said, would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute
>>>smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she responded,
>>>"Two fifty." I said with approval, just add it to my tab.

>>> Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from
>>>Neiman-Marcus and it 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." Boy, was I upset]] I called
>>>Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them the waitress said it was
>>>"two fifty," and I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie
>>>recipe. I asked them to take back the recipe and reduce my bill
>>>and they said they were sorry, but because all the recipes were
>>>this expensive so not just everyone could duplicate any of our
>>>bakery recipes....the bill would stand. I waited, thinking of
>>>how I could get even or even try and get any of my money back.
>>>
>>>I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250.00 and now I'm going to
>>>have $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to
>>>it that every cookie lover will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from
>>>Neiman-Marcus for nothing. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do
>>>this." I said, "I'm sorry but this is the only way I feel I could
>>>get even," and I will.

>>> So, here it is, and please pass it to someone else or run a few

Regarding the cookie recipe -- this is really an apocryphal story. In
the original version, it was Mrs. Field's cookie company cast as the
villain. I have had the recipe for several years and although my own
allergy to chocolate (boo hoo) means I cannot enjoy them, they receive
rave reviews every time I bake them! The recipe makes TONS of cookies,
so make sure you have lots of friends or a freezer -- or cut the recipe
in half.
Happy baking.
Jayne
