My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in
Dallas & decided to have a small dessert.  Because both of us are such
cookie Lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcuscookie." It was  so
 excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the
waitress  said  with a small frown, "I'm afraid not but, you can buy
the recipe." Well, I  asked how much, and she responded,"Only two
fifty, it's a great deal!" I  agreed with approval, just add it to my
tab I told her. 
Thirty days  later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus
and it was $285.00. I  looked again and I remembered I had only spent
$9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the
bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe $250.00" That's
outrageous!  I called Neiman's  Accounting Dept. and told them the
waitress said it was two-fifty," which  clearly does not mean "two
hundred and fifty dollars" by any *POSSIBLE* interpretation of the
phrase.Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would  not refund my
money, because according to them,"What the waitress told you  is not
our problem.  You have already seen the recipe.  We absolutely will
not refund your money at this point."  I explained to her the criminal
statues which govern fraud in Texas. I threatened to refer them to the
Better Business Bureau and the State's Attorney General for engaging
in fraud. I was basically told, "Do whatyou want, it doesn't matter,
and we're not refunding your money." I  waited, thinking of how I
could get even, or even try and get any of my  moneyback.  I  just
said, "Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going  to have $250.00
worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it  that every 
Cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250.00
 cookie recipe from Neiman- Marcus...for free. She replied, "I wish
you  wouldn't  do this." Isaid, "Well, you should have thought of that
before you  ripped  me  off," and  slammed down the phone on her.

So here it is!!!>
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think 
of. I paid $250 for this...I don't want Neiman-Marcus to *ever* get
another penny off of this recipe....
