Double boiler trick, perhaps. Funny, while I was awake early this morning
with a sick cat Bert Wolf was on PBS talking about double boilers, toast,
burgers and cheese sauce. I ran into the man at an office building when I

and asked if I knew anything about cooking as I walked down the steps. I
just smiled.
