I posted an inquiry here late in December asking if anyone knew why the
recipe called for them * what purpose did they serve. I also called
Lynn Rosetto Kasper of National Public Radio's "The Splendid Table"
program and asked her. FWIW, our conversation about it will be part of
this weekend's broadcast. It's available as a podcast, too. The Q&A
part of her show is in the second half of the hour.

Woo-hoo!
