[Sca-Cooks] Pasties article in the new T.I.

[Susan Fox]

Okay, my feathers are less ruffled now.

I need to get my Web Guy to put my web page back up, now that the 
stalkers seem to have lost interest in me.  I had all my recipe and 
research material on that page, mostly because Food Network wasn't 
supporting the show that way.  Sigh.  I'll fetch it at home and post it 
to this list later.
