Hey Everyone:

Glad you wrote Kim, our computer crashed just before Christmas and only got the new one last week. So it is good to see everyone back on.

Your potluck at Pegg's sounds like a good time. Don't forget to invite Mr. Merlot, he is very wise to have over, and often!

I've discovered the magazine Cook's Illustrated. Anyone else seen it? What a valuable resource to have in your kitchen. Only published 6 times a year, but it is a magazine that is often used by professional chefs. Ina Garten has written about her use of the magazine. I would definately recommend this one to check out, you'll see why. They also have a website, but you need to subscribe to be able to see the recipes.
