A to Z Recipes Newsletter

Good morning and welcome to your Sunday issue of A to Z Recipes newsletter. It is cool and perfect weather for finishing up the last of the Christmas preparations.

We've shared thousands of recipes in these A to Z Recipes newsletters over the years. What began as a brief exchange of recipes to my friends has blossomed into a large publication, posted twice weekly, to thousands of recipe collectors, all over the world. As big as the newsletter has become, it remains personal; my circle of friends has merely expanded. Within that larger circle is a smaller one, comprised of people who have taken the friendship a step further. That circle of friends meet daily in a forum called the A to Z Recipes Quick-Talk, or QT for short. Many have met, face to face, and I've been fortunate enough to be present for some. We live in various parts of the world but share a common bond. Collecting recipes was the springboard, but friendship is the tie that binds us. That QT group has given you, the readership, a special Christmas gift this year. This issue is it. Please join me in thanking the following friends, only a small part of the QT group, for their generosity. Today, we are sharing recipes collected over the years from fundraiser cookbooks; some from our church or community, and others from books we own or borrowed. (I just purchased a cookbook with fewer recipes than this issue!) What a wonderful gift from these nice people, over 100 recipes, and just for you!

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/12232007.html.

Today's A to Z Recipes Newsletter

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us in the QT. We'll see you here again on Wednesday, God willing.

PS: I know we're all busy but don't forget about the current Monthly Theme topic of Promised Recipes. We're in need of enough recipes to make the issue possible! Read all about it in the Monthly Theme section, ok? Thanks!
