I love looking through all the issues, and this one all about home cooks was particularly inspiring. (PS: The thing about mustard is exactly what I would think and, very likely, if I made it, I'd start to like it more and find ways to use it. You should do it!) Donna - You're reading the same book that I am!? How are you liking it? It was so funny that I had just said something to Kelley about the ethics of eating meat, and then I read his chapter on vegetarianism, which relieved me. He's so thorough in his research, don't you think? I'm learning a lot! Lan – I know! I love looking through all the issues, and this one all about home cooks was particularly inspiring.

Two of my daughters live in the Pittsburg area and everything is Heinz there so they were interested in the Ketchup taste testing. Your pictures are absolutely fabulous! Love your writing also and of course the recipes!! I am also reading the first Steingarten at a much slower pace than Kelley finished off the second!

It's so much easier than I'd expected. Nick - I agree the homemade kind has such richer flavor and thank you! Kelley - Good! That gives me time to try and make more headway. I figure by the time Steve finishes it, you get started and almost finish, we'll be at about the same place. So really it was all meant to be, all along. Justine - No, I don't think so at all. The fun of the spices is that you can mix them up a little. If you don't have any celery flakes, try it without or improvise something similar. Let me know how it goes! Kickpleat – Yes, do!
