Yup, rather like Counselor Troi and Roseanne got into a dreadful 
transporter accident.  Come to think of it, that's my attitude too.  "I 
sense you have a problem... GET OVER IT!"  <grin>  Olwen keeps telling 
us all to take pictures, pictures, pictures so I didn't want to get into 
trouble. The Pasty recipe and other text are now up, by the way.  Jared 
has put up a bunch of our other work on that site as well, keep 
checking.  More recipes as I wrangle them into some kind of order.

It's one of my better colors.  I was instructed before the shoot to not 
wear bright white, or to wear distracting patterns. [Then in walks Jim 
in that window-pane plaid. OK fine.]  Maybe I should have worn an apron. 
 I was trying to keep it "casual."

Bottom line is money, as always.  They didn't pay us for the site or my 
appearance.   Master Huen's segment was done at a period-style 
restaurant for ambience but  I did not happen to have a relationship 
with a restaurant.  

My parents' house is MUCH prettier than mine and the island provided a 
good "stage" for the cameras as well as a very stable work surface for 
pounding on dough.

Believe you me, nobody will escape hearing about it.  I already realize 
I've been a bit tedious about this subject already.  I think I will be 
near the end of the run, late August or early September.
