If you add a valley fold along the equator it looks similar to Sam

Hi Louise,
Thank you for sending this notice. I had no idea that my parchment-folding 
baking grid trick is featured in the current issue of Cook's Illustrated 
Magazine. How on earth did they learn that I do this when baking cookies in 
Haverhill, MA?!  Now I understand why I often feel as if somebody is spying on 
me whenever I bake! Well, it's curtains for my kitchen windows from now on.
Actually, I had submitted my idea to Cook's Illustrated Mag ages ago--the 
enticement being a free 1-year subscription--and never heard back from them. 
Looks like origami piqued their interest after all. They did a wonderful job 
with the art that illustrates the method. Now I'm off to buy five copies for my 
mother.
Thanks again for the notice.
