I tape all the series watch it later. Only one thing , why is the material at the top of your shirt up into your hair it bothers me watching when she pays more attention on the hair, Touching hair and cooking is just wrong, another thing the oven mits ( I love you Ina ) when working with mixing meat with hands going right into the mits putting meat into the oven , I know you wash your hands but my daughter would say ina didn't wash first ! But the germs are now in the mits . Sorry Ina always will follow
