ME,
Do you have any left? That way, Cindy and I could come over and try your Chocolate Pie after others have tasted it and didn't get sick.

Your loving brother,
Jim

No, I sent it home with Caroline and Jesse. No one was sick, probably because we are immune to raw eggs from all the raw cookie dough over the years!
