Do I need to pay any US import taxes? Is there a limit on how much I can ship? What shipment company should I use? Please provide as much detail as possible!

I want to begin to eat only vegetarian meals, however I'm nervous it could have various health risks after years of eating meat and regular foods. Does anyone know the affects?

and do you think its a good recipe?

A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a very expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for $50.00.Let's let them have it!

THIS IS A TRUE STORY!

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe C in Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the"Neiman-Marcus cookie." It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, and the waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not, but you can buy the recipe."

Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty-it's a great deal!" I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my tab. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe- $250.00". That was outrageous!

I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was "two fifty", which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty dollars" by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money because, according to them, "What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe. We absolutely will not refund your money at this point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas. I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want. Don't bother thinking of how you can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of your money back."

I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have $250 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to i t that every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this."

I said, "Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you ripped me off!" and slammed down the phone. So here it is!

Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make another penny off of this recipe!

I bought some Masarepa precooked corn meal today.
On the bag it says 1 cup cornmeal to 1 1/2 cup water. Another recipe calls for 1 cup cornmeal to 1 cup water.
Which are the correct proportions?
Also the recipe on the bag calls for warm water and another calls for boiling water. Which is best?
Thanks for your help.

I mean there was the case of Toxly O'grady. He went to prison for 15 years. Apparently he fed a mallard a Big Mac and the ducks guts exploded everywhere. In court the judge said Toxly was an evil son of a bitc h who need to be sent down the river. Something that duck would never do again. Just wondered what you blokes thought.

My fiancee is cooking dinner tonight, and is using Poblano peppers in his recipe.

I am a wimp, and cannot handle spicy foods.

Will I be ok with this pepper, or will I need a whole gallon of milk to go along with it????
