[Sca-cooks] 'kitchen fright'?

[Carol Eskesen Smith]

Catching up on e-mail (many projects needing finishing before the weekend, most even finished, for a change(!), so this is afterwards...
As usual, Jadwiga's sauces were wonderful (as expected).  I especially liked her plain mustard and her pepper sauces, but all had their good points.  There was  good food, and plenty of it, including lots of fruit and thirst quenchers.  Nice job, Jadwiga!
Regards,

  Some very big name actors are nearly crippled with stage fright.  Sir Derek
  Jacobi, for instance.  At last report, Sir Peter Ustinov still vomits before
  every performance.  Um, try not to do that in the kitchen.  :-o

  Everyone will be happy and well-fed.
