This is weird Gayle, there isn't any link at all. I wonder why I don't have it?

And to be more specific, what I see after NT are the brackets that would inclose the link but they are just butted up to each other. Nothing in the middle where it would say link. My computer? Weird! I guess I'll google Nestle and see what I can find.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Agreed.

I was just in a bad mood. I think it's a great idea to leave it out.

Here's a photo of the 27 Marines who just returned from Iraq. They were there 7 months.

Agreed. Let's not discuss religion. I reserve the privilege of ...

...praying for you, and anyone else here.

In His Name,

Would something like this "mix " do well? I read that to prolong freshness,>>>

replace the butter with shortening. How about the butter flavored Crisco? And leave out the chocolate.

Orchid, does the link show in my post 17 when you open the post? It should also be in the body of

the post.

The site is:

I must have gremlins in my puter Gayle...same thing! It's empty. How can this be?

 

[marilynfl]

Dawn, excellent link. I'm working with the coordinator to get a list of "do's/don't"

 

[orchid]

No Lisa, it just says "Link:" that's it. Thanks for the link here. Weird Huh?

 

[lisainla]

The sites I read mentioned subbing shortening for butter, bar cookies travel better, and

chocolate chips are OK as long as they are baked first, as they tend to become more firm after baking. I suppose that would depend on the ratio of chips to batter in the baked good, too.

(making myself laugh here, when I first posted the above, I typo'd "baked" - my finger slipped one to the right on the first letter of the word...)

 

[marilynfl]

This link opens up a separate window in Internet Explorer. Is it opening a "new tab" instead?

 

[junebug]

Marilyn--I'd love to participate in this.

 

[orchid]

It doesn't open anything. There's nothing to click on. It looks like this..

 

[orchid]

Excellent site Lisa. It answers everything and with recipes! Thank you so much!

You're very welcome!

The link I posted from a former soldier, said that food savers tended to take out too much air,

and the cookies would arrive in crumbs. His comment is in my link below.
