Thanks for all your hard work,Carlo, our pal !! It has been a long wait, and just in time for Christmas!! What a great thing you are doing.

I hope you go into more and more publication as you sell this great Cookbook. It was so much fun reading it as it was posted.

I can't wait to get it !!

FR has a friend in you, Carlo!!

Thanks so much for all of those fine words.. but I wasn't alone! Two Step, encouraged me tirelessly from the beginning, as did Jellybean, stanz, Piasa, RJayneJ, Howie, wonderful Howie, doing all of the artwork, Terry's Take, Billie, and countless others which are mentioned in the acknowledgments. But it was our christie who singlehandedly did all of the layouts and designing, she worked day and night, as did Firebrand doing all of the editing for scrapes and emails...

Also we can't forget Bob J, that tried to assist me along the way. Also there where 1000+ recipes, cartoons, and food tips, funnies and otherwise... blush, that were submitted by freepers, and it took thousands of hours of emails and phone calls, and UPS, Fedex, then cook test, read, spell check, verify, fax, and reformat into our templet to get this baby finished. .. and we can't forget who did most of that stuff with me... our lost angel, Angelique, who kept me working on this venture long after I wanted to stick around... this project is a testament to her tenacity, and loyalty to FREEREPUBLIC, and our hero, Jim Robinson, without whom, none of this could be happening. Whatever else that can be said, I will never be quite the same after this, I have nothing but admiration for this site and all of the great people connected with it...GOD BLESS YOU ALL and GOD BLESS AMERICA
