Hello,

Thank you Robin(!) for today's recipes!

We received this by email:

I just want to thank everyone for the fantastic recipes that come through Thrifty Fun. I am recently retired and am having a grand time trying at least 1-3 recipes a day from the web site. My husband just loves all the new things I try. He now asks if this is one of my recipes or from the computer. He said," I haven't had a bad thing that you have cooked". Thanks again for all the great stuff. God Bless you all
