From Margaret Nadeau:
Taping the cooking segment for "United Taste of America" on the Food Channel was great fun.  We filmed for a couple of hours, this will be brought down to a segment of approximately 7 minutes.  The show will air possibly in February.  The premier show for United Taste of America shows tonight on the Food Channel: 8:30 central standard time.  Big thanks to Chuck & Barbara Taylor who offered me their hospitality on Monday night, this was a great help so the drive into Austin from Boerne would not be too long.  Chuck & B also participated in the filming along with Renee Moore.  I was happy to share the experience with them and appreciate their support.  Will keep everyone posted on when the segment will air.  Happy trails.
 
It is Wednesday and here are the CCOs scheduled for this weekend.
