Hello and intro - Hi Lis

[Guest guest]

Hi Lis,

 

Glad to have you here and it's wonderful that the program is working for you,

very cool.

Funny I've had the same thing happen to me with some pre-packaged stuff. The

packaging or picture on the box looks good . Sometimes it does not come or turn

out

well.

 

One thing for sure, alway's make sure I have back-up protein options, just in

case. This

has saved me countless times.

 

BTW- Just love Takra Dal in Indian Restaurants. Keep talking with the owners of

my

favorite Indian Restaurant, trying to talk them into cooking lessions. They

must think I'm

wacked.

 

Oh Well,

 

Bob
