Default Julia and Jacques on PBS

This is just a "headsup" if you don't already know. The public television
"Julie and Jacques Cooking at Home" series is being rerun.. It's absolutely
priceless. We're going to buy the 4CD set, something we've never done
before.

That's been going on for at least a couple months.
It was one of the many food programs that my local
station has used to fill up the new channels they've
gotten by going to digital.

With digital, I see so much more. Joanne Weir
sure has bad teeth. Digital also makes her look
so much older.

I was checking out the buttons on my remote control
to see if I have a freeze-frame function. I don't,
but I discovered there's a program schedule button.
That was a surprise! Very convenient.

Since PBS stations are not linked via a national schedule, like network
television, what you see will be different than the stations I receive. Each
PBS station will purchase their programs via a syndication arrangement.

I tend to buy television programs that I really enjoy as sets. If you wish
to view the video as well as the audio portion of the programs, I would
suggest buying either the DVD or the (shudder at the quality) VHS version,
rather than a CD set.

I meant the DVD set. Thanks for clarifying this, Dave. I'm quite to prone to
errors like this, as we all know.
Thanks again,

Ed

Just caught that this afternoon, which I never would have if I hadn't
been dragooned to babysit a 2 month old granddaughter and was bored
spitless. What a treat! Enjoyed watching them create similar dishes
from the same basic ingredients, then tasting each others' offerings.
Now *that's* a cooking show!

Two incredible people, chefs, and cooks. Where would we be wiithout Julia?.
Sometimes I wonder what she's thinking about us up above.
