 What's on the agenda today?
Greetings of the New Year from The Open Line staff: Saturday host, Doug Wagner: Connie Switzer, subscriptions and correspondence; our new Director of Marketing and Bulletin design, Teisha Welsh; and me. We have just finished the 35th year of Open Line shows on WMT. I'm pleased to be with you daily on this eastern Iowa broadcast tradition begun by Jim Loyd, and carried on by Jim Rogers, Dave Hinman, Dwayne Schmidt and Jerry Carr. Thank you for inviting us into your lives, and sharing your interest in great food with our listeners and Bulletin subscribers.
 We have a bit of party atmosphere working in this issue as we get ready for The Super Bowl and Valentine's Day, and just having friends over for dinner, cards and conversation on these cold winter nights. Have you noticed two cooking trends that are staging comebacks? Fondues and crockpots have become popular, again and we have a couple ideas for using them. Also, we have a correction of one of the most popular recipes of all of 1998, The Sand Art Brownies, one ingredient was incorrect in our last issue.
