Actually, it's "Chak Man" -- my name's a bit strange.

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 9:55:16 PM
During warmup we've discovered that there's a couple here from Fairbanks, Alaska!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 9:55:30 PM

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 9:56:48 PM
Coconut crusted mahimahi sounds better. I'm frankly getting tired of this recipe.

You're right Nudsy Annie. This is the warmup, Garrison was actually singing Porter's "Let's Do It." Any Porter or Tin Pan Alley fans out there?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 9:59:21 PM
Are they warming up?
