Oops, Deviled Eggs!
March 30, 2005
INT. MR. R'S MANSION--KITCHEN--MORNING
Caryn comes in with a dozen plastic grocery bags cutting into her arms, only to find Miss A. picking at a bowl of grapes.
MISS A.
Hey! I've been waiting for you.
Caryn takes the refrigerated items out of the bags first.
CARYN
Am I late?
MISS A.
No, I just wanted to ask you if you could make some hors d'oeuvres for me and my girlfriends this afternoon. They're visiting from New York and we're gonna hang by the pool.

Ford-Era Hot Cross Buns!
March 27, 2005
INT. CARYN'S BEDROOM--SATURDAY BEFORE EASTER--DAY
Caryn lies on her bed, perusing the Spring issues of her food magazines. Punky is curled up on his pillow next to her, sleeping peacefully. He rolls over at the sound of the phone ringing. Caryn grabs for the phone.
CARYN
Hello?
VOICE (O.S)
What're you doing?
She sinks back down. Just Mom.

Cupcake Mirth! (IMBB 13)
March 24, 2005
INT. WINNIE'S APARTMENT--BEDROOM--EARLY MORNING
Winnie is sound asleep in her bed , the comforter snuggled up to her chin. The phone rings, piercing the early morning stillness. Winnie rolls over and pulls the covers over her head.
The phone rings again. Winnie sits up abruptly.
WINNIE
Go away!
She takes the phone from the nightstand and looks at the caller ID. She takes a deep breath before answering it.
WINNIE
This better be an emergency.

A Late Snack: Bierocks!
March 23, 2005
INT. MR. R'S MANSION--KITCHEN--NIGHT
Caryn takes a tray of small, pillow-shaped buns from the oven, setting them on the stove to cool. She grabs a jar of spicy, whole-grain mustard from the fridge and piles a few of the buns on a plate.
Sitting down at the little table in the corner of the huge kitchen, she breaks open a steaming bun, catching meat and cabbage as it tumbles out. She spreads mustard across the top of the bun, and is about to take a bite when she realizes that Mr. R. is watching her from the counter.

Chocolate Cherry Cheer: Bread Pudding!
March 20, 2005
EXT. CARYN'S APARTMENT--NIGHT
Caryn's Honda screeches to a halt with the same obnoxious sound from before. The door haphazardly swings open and Caryn steps out, right into a large muddy puddle. She groans.
She gathers her things from the car and walks up the steps to the porch where she looks in the mailbox.
INT. CARYN'S APARTMENT
Punky screams for his dinner. Caryn drops her bag and coat on the couch and looks through the mail. Bills, bills, bills.

Springtime Afternoon: Risotto!
March 17, 2005
EXT. MR. R'S MANSION--SUNDECK--DAY
The massive sundeck stretches the full length of the house and opens out to the expansive view of the buzzing city. Just steps below the deck, a glorious pool shimmers in the California sun.
Mr. R. and Miss A. relax at a large, round table that is dressed in the requisite white linen and crystal. Lauren reads a script in a sunchair next to them.
Miss A. stretches her bare, pedicured feet into the sun.

Sweet Sesame: Asian Vinaigrette!
March 14, 2005
INT. MR. R'S MANSION--KITCHEN--DAY
Caryn and Flora are trimming and washing a bed of fresh, spring greens over the sink when the door swings open and MISS A., a stunningly beautiful actress in a white, flowing sundress, prances in.
MISS A.
Oh, fabulous! I'm famished.

Simply French: Apple Cake!
March 10, 2005
INT. MR. R'S MANSION--KITCHEN--DAY
Caryn sits at the table that she has now adopted as her own, a notebook computer propped open before her. Lauren appears out of nowhere, sporting an elegant new suit.
LAUREN
I trust you're making good use of your time while he's away.
Startled by the interruption, Caryn doesn't respond. Lauren takes a bottle of water from the fridge and pours it into a crystal wine glass.
LAUREN (CONT'D)
Because the last girl got fired for wasting too much time.

The Pepper Chef!
March 07, 2005
INT. CARYN'S APARTMENT--KITCHEN--LATE AFTERNOON
The sink is overflowing with dirty dishes and bowls. Bright orange spots are spattered around the stove. The trash can is long over-due for a changing.
Caryn stands over a colorful bowl on the table, digital camera poised at her eye. There is a quick knock at the door, but it opens nearly at the same time and Matt waltzes in.
MATT
Smells like peppers in here!

Chocolate and Chippers at Surfas!
March 06, 2005
INT. CROWDED WAREHOUSE STORE--DAY
Winnie and Caryn push a small cart through narrow aisles, trying to maneuver around the myriad of customers, some dressed in full chef attire.
CARYN
Do you see it?
WINNIE
Maybe by the gadgets on the back wall.
CARYN
I already looked there.
Winnie stops suddenly at a shelf of fine and rare teas.
WINNIE
Oooo!

Road Trip: Brodard's Chao Tom!
March 03, 2005
EXT. LOS ANGELES FREEWAY--DAY
A bright red, completely restored 1975 Volkswagen Super Beetle motors down the road with four occupants smushed inside. MATT, smartly dressed with unassuming good looks, sits with Caryn in the back. Vic drives with Winnie by his side.
CARYN
How much farther? I'm starrrrrrving.
WINNIE
Almost there. Ten minutes.
Caryn groans and shifts in her seat, accidentally kicking Matt's shin.
MATT
Maybe we should've taken my car.
VIC
This baby will take your little Audi any day!
