By this time the name had been changed to THE HP DINNER SHOW and every week something to do with dinner was featured. I have strong memories of Suzanne Ksinan coming and cooking haggis in various ways around Robby Burns Day. One time she put it in a pot in the back yard surmounted by a magnifying glass. After several hours the skin was a bit warm where the magnifying glass was focused. A very successful attempt happened when she wrapped one in aluminum foil and tied it over the exhaust manifold of a Ford truck. After driving around for a couple hours the haggis was literally steaming and didn't taste at all like exhaust fumes. 38 In the summer of 1978 we took a break from live broadcasting. I was hired to produce an exhibition in San Francisco called The Radio Room, part of an exchange between La Mammelle and A Space, in Toronto. Hank joined me to produce a Luxe Radio play with Bay Area people. I fell in love with San Francisco and stayed to make a sound fountain at The Exploratorium. 39 |
