i was referring to what one could learn on tv, knowing a process is vastly
different from developing skills from knowing about it, i am sure one simple
class doesn't make one an expert on any particular skill set, cooking or
not, but to claim that veiwing a tv show does the same is really silly, and
that was my point, i didn't mean to infer that years ow work and practice
was discounted, as you know, i can tell from the recipes you post,
experience in general and experimintation, are the only way to improve
skills,

I hope tha t makes sense,

Lee
