No Kate, but no Marmite, either! Instead, it's cookies!

[Donald Jay Kulpa <dk141093@oak.cats.ohiou.edu>]

Dear fellow lovehounders-

        Now, I realize this has nothing to do with Marmite, but i really
couldn't resist forwarding this... i don't know if it's real or not, but i know
these cookies sound yummy, and i'm going to try them out for my thanksgiving
table (which will feature turkey, along with some fabulously complex vegitarian
dishes) so, enjoy!


Subject: Cookie recipie. $250 worth. (fwd)

This is completely bogus, but I made the cookies a few years ago, and they are
excellent.....like you wouldn't believe!!!!!
