"Parchment Paper Origami" "To tame the curl of a freshly cut sheet of parchment paper, Michael Lafosse of Haverhill, Mass., folds evenly spaced, parallel creases in both the short and long directions. When unfolded, the creased grid helps to keep paper from rolling back into a cylinder, and it also works as a guide for evenly spacing cookie dough. (The number of pleats may be adjusted for more or fewer spots depending on what is being baked.)" Louise in Northern california _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Louise, Thank you for sending this notice. I had no idea that my parchment-folding baking grid trick is featured in the current issue of Cook's Illustrated Magazine. How on earth did they learn that I do this when baking cookies in Haverhill, MA?! Now I understand why I often feel as if somebody is spying on me whenever I bake! Well, it's curtains for my kitchen windows from now on. Actually, I had submitted my idea to Cook's Illustrated Mag ages ago--the enticement being a free 1-year subscription--and never heard back from them. Looks like origami piqued their interest after all. They did a wonderful job with the art that illustrates the method. Now I'm off to buy five copies for my mother. Thanks again for the notice. Michael LaFosse of Haverhill, MA
