Damn weird, that's how I found your site!
Yeah, truly weird. I have received about 3 of these kinds of emails in the last 2 days. Similar to the ones you brought up. This is getting huge, son.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I can only conclude that there's some kind of vigilante spammer out there, spamming useful tips and insightful quotes to those who need it most.
ReplyDeleteUm . . . this recipe is VERY similar to one that a friend passed along to me, that a friend of his found online. Only sour cream instead of yogurt and a few other differences -- but a very similar cabbage-fruit slaw to this one. I have no idea why this would be in any way relevant, but it *is* coincidental.
