Ivy,

FYI, The average length of an editor at Cook's is about 4 years or less - and one common reason for leaving, at least partially, is for health reasons. I gained 40 pounds working there (which I finally! just got off) just from having to do the tastings and the fact that since it's not a commercial kitchen, all the leftover food is available for employees to take home for dinner. Great food, but not recommended as a steady diet.

Lindsay,

Your self-control is incredible. How have you managed this remarkable.

On a different subject, we are really proud of you success in removing the blind tasting weight gain. Congratulations.

Kae, welcome back by the way. CK of CI/ATK/CC etc. is getting married to a test kitchen cook. Let's just say she's a tad younger.
