I opened this magazine-sized, 20-page promo hoping to see a bread fairy.

"Cover: Seed pods of the goldentrain tree, *Koelreuteria paniculata*, formerly known as K. *japonica*. These bladdery capsules follow the clusters of golden blooms and add a pleasing note of contrast against the lace-like tracery of the leaves." From the September issue.

Yeah, it's all fun and games until the trees default on their student loans. From the December issue of Sunset magazine.

"Mexican Meat, Cornbread Topping." Served with a generous side of vaguely disturbing kitsch. At least you get permission to add more than 1/2 tsp. of chili powder to the skillet "if your family likes 'real hot' food..." What a relief, huh?
