Frugal dining doesn't have to be boring

I was reading the news this morning before writing this post and, oh man, it's scary what's going on in the world, isn't it? Even though Main St hasn't been hit as hard yet, I believe it is time to start buckling up for the rough ride ahead. However, I don't think that means we need to eat boring and tasteless food. This is the time to put on our creative hats and start making delicious foods on a budget. That's why I encourage you to check out and participate in… Continue

If you would like to add it let me know and I can send it to you.
I saw some comments in your site for the event from Free Recipe Blog Archive who posted some nice things about us but do not know who this is, although he/she says that she/he knows me from The Great Chefs.
Please tell me who it is so I can leave a message and thank this person.
Best regards, Ivy

Just click the drop down arrow next to the orange GCC on the left hand side. Click the "Refresh Toolbar" option there and it should refresh all the information on the bar. Please let me know if it does not. As for Firefox, I agree that it has seemed to have some issues lately. I have been using 2.0 and the beta of 3.0 for about a month now and I think 3.0 will be a much better product, but we will see. I will look and see if there is an Opera version of the toolbar, but I'm not sure there is.

Let me know if these suggestions help or if we need to try something else. Thank you for letting me know it was giving you issues.
