One (hopefully) final comment on Neiman-Marcus and their restaurant policies (OK.. this isn't exactly 'bout them cookies). My mom worked at the Beverly Hills Neiman-Marcus from the day it opened and for a good ten years after that. Errrrrr... in the lingerie department, least anyone is curious. I used to meet her there for lunch all the time, and we'd eat in the upstairs restaurant. There were a coupla-three occasions over the years when they served something that I thought my family'd enjoy ,and when I asked for the recipes, they always cheerfully gave 'em to me. AND it was always given FREE! Further, they always had it broken down for servings of 6 or 8 persons, instead of hundreds such as the restaurant would use. Believe me, you'll NEVER find a more customer service-oriented business than N-M, and that was merely another "service" to them. Barb Mallut [log in to unmask]
