From the article:

“I'm constantly surprised by how many people don't know you can do this. It's amazing.”

I'm probably nitpicking, but sad to see this in the article. One of the things I love about Julia's writing otherwise is that it is free of this sort of 'I'm surprised that you don't know this simple thing.' expressions.

hey! Thanks for pointing this out. As you say, I do normally try to audit my writing for feigned suprise like this!!

I'll fix it when I get home.
