The Recipe Chain Letter Resurrected
I am NOT a fan of chain letters. I cringe when I get to the bottom of a lovely thought-provoking email and it says to send it to 10 friends in 15 seconds or you’ll be forever plagued with loneliness, warts, creeping underwear, whatever! It would take me longer than 15 seconds to pick the poor souls that are going to be saved by this chain letter of inspiration. A quick delete and I’m doomed.
So I don’t know what possessed me to follow the instructions on a recent email and send ten or fifteen (I can’t even remember how many) friends on my contact list this chain letter. Probably because I like the young woman who sent it to me and I thought what else do my friends have to do with all of their spare time?
I had to send a quick and easy recipe to the first person appearing on the email sent to me. Christmas is coming and who doesn’t want a few new recipes to spice up the tired old repertoire of tried and true holiday recipes?
To date, I have received ONE recipe. Yep…ONE! It was from the only MAN I had the courage to send it to! And no it wasn’t my husband! It’s refreshing to know a man who’s in touch with his Martha Stewart side.
Now ladies, you know who you are. Right now, you’re shifting uncomfortably in your office chairs. You mentally cursed me when it arrived and knew that you should at least try and send a few emails but couldn’t fight the overwhelming compulsion to hit that delete key!
So for my friends who broke the chain, I will share my recipe with you and spare you a life of bad luck, indigestion and creeping underwear. Oh didn’t I mention that if you’d kept the chain going a hot young fireman would have arrived at your door ready to cater to your every whim? I’ll wave to you from the fire truck. Bon appetite ladies!

Hi Kristy, I tried my best! Lunch it is and we don’t have to make it or bake it ourselves…:)

Well… I guess I am one of the ones shifting uncomfortably in my chair… NOT…I hate that chain letter crap and I had no problem pushing the delete on my computer. Martha Stewart my behind, like in the real world I have time to sit and follow a recipe. I am lucky to be able tear the frozen bag of vegtables open fast enough to boil with the frozen french fries and fish sticks in the oven. I can safely say I have no warts or creeping underwear, but I can honestly say I pray for some alone time once in a while. Life moves too fast these days. I love the bake sales at the church. My husband urges me to go so we can have some home baked something or other. I encourage my friends to bring home made goods as I would be buying them from the store. A lesson girfiend — DO NOT ask me to bring desert to your house. I buy it on the way. Hopefully I can find a Mennonite farm selling baked goods out front or its to the nearest Fortino’s for me.
Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray…are they for real!
Spaghetti, fetticini, martini, bikini…I don’t even have time for the Slap Chop.
I will NOT be making Canada skinny one chop at at time…I will have a boring tuna! SUE ME

Hi Maryann, too bad I can’t take that cookbook back that I bought you for Christmas…have to keep it myself! The Slap Chop is very popular this year…at least it was at the hubby’s Christmas party!
