Heh! You're nobody's fool, Bob! The chutney bears "Chunky Peach
Apricot Chutney" and the bbq sauce says Cherry Chipotle on it. I think
one of the intake ladies was one of the judges and I asked (or is it
aksed?) her about why it looks like it does. She speculated that it may
have been overcooked. Ever make it? Ever have stuff in it? How's that
for a clear description of the problem. :-/ Looks like wispy
something. I'm interested in any remarks that might be on the
scoresheet. An Educational Experience, mebbe.
