A to Z Recipes Newsletter

Good morning and welcome to your Wednesday edition of A to Z Recipes Newsletter. As they say here and in some parts of the South: "It don't get any better than this". We had a wonderful Christmas, spent with family and friends. And as I talk with them, my kids offer a similar sentiment, in that this was the best Christmas ever. And it wasn't a matter of the money spent (although there was a lot of that going on!). It was quality time with family and friends that made this year so special. I am so grateful that I was off on Christmas Eve so I could share, first hand, in the memories. I worked on Christmas day, but again, my co-workers are like family and we enjoyed a wonderful meal and had a peaceful shift, for the most part. I hope yours was special, too.

It would be so neat to have each of you participate in the current Monthly Theme topic of Promised Recipes. The holidays kept us busy but the time draws near and I really want to have some recipes gathered to share in the issue to be posted on Sunday, January 9th. Certainly you are a recipe collector and have some recipes you saved to try later and haven't had the chance to do so. We're looking for recipes you have promised yourself (or your family) to make some day. Readers are encouraged to try your recipe for you, and give you a critique. We'll post their responses in issues to come. And that critique feature will become a regular part of issues from now on, or as long as it seems to be something that is viable. Spend a few minutes between now and the end of this month to send along your recipes. You'll find the special email link as well as more information about the Monthly Theme in the Monthly Theme section. Thanks!

We have a show stopper today, folks. The recipes all sound good, and the reasons to laugh and think make it a truly great issue. The following folks helped make it all possible:

Linda, Rosharon, TX
Treva, Knoxville, TN
Chris M., NM
Jim, WA State
Larry Holmes, Toronto, Canada
Mary H., Montreal, Canada
Johnny, LA
Dorie, IL
Pat, Minden, NV
Leasa, IA
Mary S., Nashville, TN
Jean, Syracuse, NY
Luanne, FL
Beverley, Montreal, 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/12262007.html.

We'll see you here again on Sunday for the last issue of 2007, God willing.
