    Audrey: I like your optimism. It’s been a tough couple weeks weather-wise.

    Hank: Take a page from Audrey; while we’re done with chanties by Turkey Day, you’re just getting going, with mushrooms to be had through the winter, when they’re needed most in stews, stuffings, and comforting sauces.

    WT: I’ll admit my first silver of the year was about a fifth the weight of yours, which is why editing skills are a must in this bizness.

    LTH: It’s one of my favorites, and ridiculously easy. Love this time of year! Thanks for tuning in everyone.
