(((Maria))) My mom got hers today, but can't eat the cookies....smileys/frown.gif
Oy!
She has been battling interstitial cystitis (bladder inflammation) and is on a very restricted diet.
I had gone over the ingredients for the cookies and the frosting with her beforehand, but neglected to mention the food coloring for the icing, which contains a no-go ingredient for her.
I was so happy to send them along, as I've been trying to find some kind of food treat she could eat. She called today and said she ended up breaking a few parts off the cookies that didn't have the frosting on them so she could taste them.
;(
I will made a new batch sans food coloring and send them along.

(((Lisa))) - wanna here something weird? I've had the wrong address for mom all.this.time...
Yeah.
This is epic Mercury Retrograde.
There is a building 1 & 2, but apparently #2 has a different address.
Yep, who knew? Not me. For years. Sent all kinds of stuff that always arrived before. So have other people.
After too.many.hours faxes/FedEx going back out there/blah, blah the person at the front desk today says "that's not our address." What? Wait, whaaaat? So find #/call next door and she says "oh we get the wrong mail all the time, I never return it, we have the pkg. They (mom's side of the building folks) just haven't come over to pick up the mail from the mail stop today." (Mind you on Friday mom's place told me they checked here.) How did I not know this? How did an overnight delivery sit there for 5 days? The woman on the phone claimed she'd walk it down the hallway to the other lobby.
Also? FedEx said can you just reship the package at our expense? I was confused b/c at that point the pkg was still lost, how can I reship a lost pkg? Then she said can you make more cookies? We will reimburse you the groceries and ship free if we lost the pkg." Groceries vs. declared value? That just seems a whole other kind of weird to me.
I'm so sorry about your mom, diet issues are always so difficult, sounds like hers are especially so. smileys/frown.gif
