A to Z Recipes Newsletter

Good morning and welcome to your Wednesday edition of A to Z Recipes Newsletter. I usually mention something about our crazy Texas weather here but not much has changed. We're still enjoying warm temperatures with some wind gusts. They say it will change soon. That is not always for the better, though!

I made a minor change to the format in that I have placed all of the reader-owned ads at the very end of the issue. This may help those who cut & paste much of the issue, as well as feature reader ads in their own special area. I trust each of them implicitly. The proof is in the pudding: I am a customer! I am really excited about this and hope you scroll down to look at them. We are introducing a new product today: Phil's Creative Chocolates. Phil Maine is the dear hubby of Pat in Minden, Nevada. He is a published cookbook author and a fabulous cook. Pat has been a personal friend of mine for many years. It is always nice to do business with someone you know and can trust.

The new Monthly Theme topic is Promised Recipes. This month we're looking for really good-sounding recipes that you haven't had a chance to make, but promised yourself (or your family) you would someday. As an added feature, we'll post comments from readers who actually prepare the recipes you submit. This one sounds like a lot of fun, and a great way to interact with one another. Please visit the Monthly Theme-Recipe Submission section of today's issue to read all about it and for the email link to use in sending in your theme and regular recipe submissions.

When I started looking for recipes to post in today's issue, I got creative and grabbed some from our QT and Yahoo forums. Some of those readers only post in those areas now. No complaints here, as the recipes are stupendous. Since that is where they post and not all of you visit those areas, I thought it would be nice to occasionally publish a recipe from them. We also have great recipes from our regular gang today, as well as other items to make you think and laugh. Here are all the readers who helped make this a wonderful issue today:

Mary H., Montreal, Canada
Larry Holmes, Toronto, Canada
Bill Anatooskin, Burnaby, BC, Canada
Gerry Ann M., Penetang, Ontario, Canada

While I prefer a newsletter that is one click away, I'm going for second best by offering it to you in two clicks. You may view Wednesday's issue on the web site with one more click or you can cut and paste this in your address line: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/12122007.html.
