There's even a cookbook available that identifies all the strange things you need to do, depending on what you're trying to bake and at what altitude. <BR/><BR/>It took a lot of effort for our local Einstein's Bagels chain to figure out an acceptable product (while good, is much airy-er than a NYC bagel).Marchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08520246930652886034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419731.post-67789325962309971422008-09-03T16:59:00.000-05:002008-09-03T16:59:00.000-05:00Ah, the Mar[c/k]s weigh in!<BR/><BR/>Excellent point about the cigs, Mark. If we know stuff is awful for us, how can we eat it? Then again, we all need to eat every day. We don't <I>need</I> to smoke.

Glad to hear you like the Apple, and I couldn't agree more about the responsibility of the televised chef. People would be shocked if a celebrity chef suggested finishing off a good meal with a pack of cigarettes, but everyone's fine with sugar cookie recipes for the kids.Mark Sissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004297151379581461noreply@blogger.com
