Seriously, you are all just brilliant. I read everyone's comments/advice and felt better about the whole debacle. I got all of the recipes you sent and literally had a squee of joy. They sound yummy, easy to make, and I might actually be able to find the ingredients for them!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're fantastic -- I love you all for being so amazing!
