  1. One small correction: Sunday always gives the same cooking recipe on a rotating 2 year schedule. It's the Wednesday rerun that always gives you a recipe you may have missed, regardless of when you missed it.

  2. Fun fact, 'Horse: The Book' is a reference to the band 'Horse The Band' – the second reference to them in game, the first being George's "Eggs? Why Eggs?" dialogue in the Egg Festival!
