Well, our little front has come and gone, but it left behind .03 of an inch of rain, which is practically a gullywasher for us.    We are once again clear and cool, heading up to the mid 70&#39;s.<br />

Mebert - the more complicated the dish, the better I like it (I think this is a throw back to my chem lab days).  I got one for a baked sqaush filled Morrocan stew that was a challenge, but it turned out pretty good - at least enough for me to serve it to guests and them not to complain.<br />

I am not sure when or if the &quot;Iron Chef&quot; will air since it&#39;s a charity event.  I&#39;m thinkin that the charity pays a liscensing fee and we get to use the name.  I couldn&#39;t imagine anyone actually wanting to see this on national TV.  I&#39;d love to be able to mee t Alton though..well, when he not signing books.  I&#39;ve already met him like that.<br />

Joey - congrats on the anniversary&#33;  Let us know what you got&#33;  <br />
<br />
tonia - the lamb came out great.  We tend to eat a lot of it since Chris&#39;s mom was married to a sheep rancher for a while and he got used to it.  I&#39;m more of a chicken girl myself - being raised on a farm and having beef six days a week growing up tends to lead to a lack of appreciation.  Chicken for me is a real treat.<br />
<br />
Here&#39;s wishing everyone a grand day - I need to go mess with more papier mache...who&#39;d thunk you&#39;d need those skills after kindergarden?<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
