It is that. I regret I don't remember Robin's husband's name. I'd sent
her some jam I think -- or talked to her about it and she wanted to send
me something -- her husband does the woodworking involved in their gifts
and she does the food. It was not my custom to make pizza from scratch
and it has been unused these several years. When I started with the
artisan-type bread a couple months ago, and after my first pizza, I've
not had a commercially-prepared one. :-)
