Gives a whole new meaning to Cook and...BOOK I am so glad you started this thread! I just received the list of names last night from past consultants. It will be interesting to see how many really pan out to be anything. I live near a military post so I am sure that many of the leads on my list that have the post address will have moved by now.

Karlene...your story was so sad...but so funny!!! I had never thought of Googling someone before but I will now!!

Nope - no hot plate either...
I'm thinking LOTS of salads and no-cook recipes!
