[Nfbwv-talk] A Few Things

Tue Apr 3 23:00:04 UTC 2012

Hi Sheri and Everyone:

I looked at the recipe for this and it sounds delicious.
Except, I hate nuts and raisins. Can you leave out the nuts and
raisins or maybe add something else in their place?
Or, do you have to use the nuts and raisins? Other than the nuts and
raisins, it sounds delicious!
I did not eat any of it at the seminar because I found out there was
raisins and nuts in it.

Thanks!
Kerri
