Re: Whole Foods/was struggling

[Guest guest]

I love Whole Foods market. I live in Amarillo and discovered one in

Dallas. I love the whole concept. Do you think they'd build one up

here? NO! Not yet anyway. <sigh>

Anyway, you talking about cookies reminded me of an occurrence about

a month ago. I was working a charity dog walk event for my employer

and they brought us all water, cookies, juice and milk. I opted for

the water, of course but thought, what the heck, I missed breakfast

I'll have a cookie. Thinking, like an idiot, that I no longer dump so

it won't be a big deal. 15 min after eating this delightfully

wonderful chocolate chip/pecan cookie, I literally felt like I was

going to faint dead away. It was by sheer will that I didn't throw

up. Suffice it to say, I no longer like chocolate chip/pecan cookies.
