Skip the Donut, Fry an Apple!
May 28, 2005
EXT. SOMEWHERE IN RURAL MISSISSIPPI--EARLY MORNING
Giant tents can be seen from quite a distance on the flat, Southern landscape. Dozens of WORKERS unload heavy, shiny lights from their big-rig trucks. Other FOLKS mill about a couple of steamy, catering trucks, discussing the day's workload over their cups of coffee and donuts.
Row after row of trailers are lined up, indistinguishable from one another as PEOPLE pass in and out with clipboards and headset walkies. One trailer, however, wafts with the smell of frying dough and apples...

IMBB #15: Riesling Fruit Salad!
May 22, 2005
EXT. VALLEY HOUSE--LARGE BACKYARD--LATE AFTERNOON
Matt is hosting a rousing barbecue of LA's young and swanky crowd. PARTY GUESTS mingle by the barbecue pit that has been dug in one corner of the yard. Caryn and Winnie hang out near a table of salads, taking in the scene. Given the recent heat wave, they are appropriately dressed in cool linen.
Matt leads a tall, gorgeous BLOND WOMAN over to Caryn and Winnie. Her sparkling blouse and high heels might be better suited for cocktail hour, but she wears it well.
MATT
Caryn, Winnie. This is Lisa.

No Kidding: Pot Roast!
May 19, 2005
INT. MR. R.'S DINING ROOM--EARLY EVENING
Mr. R. sits at the table with a thick book open before him. He is dressed in his usual Hollywood attire again and looking much refreshed. Caryn brings in the sliced roast on a large serving platter and a bowl of hot, buttery smashed potatoes.
Mr. R. looks up from his book and examines his dinner.
MR. R.
Is this what I've been smelling all day?

Bread from the Garden!
May 17, 2005
EXT. CARYN'S APARTMENT--FRONT PORCH--EARLY MORNING
The sun is just beginning to brighten the morning sky. Green herbs are spilling over the sides of little pots that line the porch. Caryn sits with her coffee and a pair of kitchen shears. She bunches together some oregano sprigs in her hand.
CARYN
If I don't clip you now, you'll take over the porch by the time I get back.
She snips the oregano and drops it in a little paper bag. Punky sits behind the screen door, meowing for his breakfast as Caryn moves on to the rosemary.

Remedy: Lemony Chicken Soup!
May 13, 2005
INT. MR. R.'S KITCHEN--DAY
The contents of the kitchen seem to be emptied onto the counters. Caryn is sorting through cookware and utensils, trying to decide what to bring with her on the upcoming trip.
Mr. R. enters, wearing sweats and a t-shirt. His hair is rumpled and there are dark circles under his eyes.
CARYN
What happened to you?
MR. R.
I don't feel well. I think I'm getting the flu.

Delectable Discovery: Sconeage's Granola!
May 11, 2005
INT. MR. R.'S KITCHEN--MORNING
Caryn is preparing a breakfast tray when Lauren walks in, wheeling her carry-on luggage behind her.
LAUREN
Well, I guess I'll see you on set next week. Of course, it's not too late to change your mind.
Caryn puts on her best smile and opens a container of crisp, sweet oats and grains. She pours some into a little cup.
LAUREN (CONT'D)
Is this the granola he's been raving about?

News, News: Cherries!
May 08, 2005
EXT. FARMER'S MARKET--DAY
Caryn strolls the aisles in her wide-brimmed sunhat. Her shoulder bag sags with the weight of the vegetables and fruits.
One table has a giant sign that reads "First of the Season." Cherries of all shades of red are piled around the sign. Caryn stops and samples one.
CARYN
A little too ripe, huh?
The other PATRONS pay no attention to her as they shove handfuls of cherries in their bags.

Guilty: Gorgonzola Grit Cakes!
May 05, 2005
INT. MR.R.'S MANSION--KITCHEN--EVENING
Fresh steaks marinate on the counter and a large skillet is coated with oil. But the kitchen is devoid of its cook.
INT. MR. R.'S MANSION--HALLWAY--SAME
Caryn meanders through the passageway, looking at the bizarre art on the walls. She stops at the bottom of a flight of stairs. She looks over her shoulder, but there is no one around. Caryn creeps up the stairs and peers around the corner.
INT. UPSTAIRS
Another hallway lined with doors. Haphazardly she chooses one.
INT. BEDROOM
Caryn finds herself in an elaborately decorated suite with a window that seems to hover above all of Los Angeles. By the teeny-sized and elegant clothing strewn about the room, it is clear that this is Miss A.'s room.
Caryn holds one of the dresses up to her body. She grunts at how much it doesn't cover and tosses it aside. Backing up, she nearly trips over a pair of glittering silver stilettos.

Cha Gio: Cha Gio!
May 02, 2005
INT. CHA GIO RESTAURANT--DAY--FLASHBACK
A much-younger Winnie rushes into the small and colorful restaurant, passing bamboo plants and walls lined with local art. She heads to the back where she deposits her backpack and kisses her petite and kind-faced mother, MRS. LE. Winnie straps on her red apron.
Mrs. Le hands her a plate of golden cha gio and says something in Vietnamese to her daughter. Winnie stacks the plate on her arm with another plate of vegetables and herbs and heads out into the restaurant again.
She sets the plates down on a table where a younger, then-unknown TY PENNINGTON sits alone. He smiles like a gentleman.

Stocking Up: 99 Ranch Market!
May 01, 2005
INT. GROCERY STORE--DAY
Winnie is sorting through some fresh bean sprouts. Caryn throws a box of sweet tamarind pods in the cart.
WINNIE
What are you going to do with those?
CARYN
I don't know. Thought they looked fun.
WINNIE
Just don't eat too many of them.
