This recipe is very easy.  At the end they did not give you a cooking time.  I added the 15 minutes.

I haven’t heard any more about the women that said that I called her out of her name.  I hope that this will go away.  It just surprised me that some one would even say such a thing about me.  I guess she was pretty mad that her kids couldn’t get their own sample.  It is a stupid rule I have to admit.  Costco doesn’t have rules like we do.   Perhaps they should.

Andrew is going to help us get the printer going.  Thank You Lord.  It went off line and we can’t get it back on.
