We spoke on the phone and she never said she wasn't interested, but she never contacted the couple who would not require fancy, just nourishing food through their medical challenges for the short duration. HOW disappointing and humiliating...........as I was trying to give them the gift of nourishing food through the holidays. No return contact or anything ...just silence. I can't let this pass. Apparently, Nicky doesn't cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you. You shouldn't advertise how you do about the services you supposedly WILL..or won't provide!!!!!!!!
