Thanks for the description of the cookbook, Janet. I do believe I may
purchase this book soon (have to check budget come end of month). I'll
look for the purchase details after I watch Cook's Country when it airs
tomorrow afternoon on PBS.

I do enjoy the show and how its talented cast demonstrates how
everything is so seemingly easy to make! Alas, Cook's Country and ATK
do not show the hard work needed afterwards when tools, gadgets,
cookware, dishes and flatware have to be cleaned and put away, which can
be rather time-consuming for a household of one. Oh well Hmmm, I
wonder what the average wages are for their dishwashers and cleaning
crews <----- that's a rhetorical question
