JL: <<Lynne Rosetto Kasper, host of NPR's cooking program 'The Splendid
Table,"
pronounces "rind" (which she felt she had to define for listeners as "the
skin of the orange")  to rhyme with "tinned.">>
WB: In Freudian terms, she slipped on a German <Rind> (head of cattle), out
of an embryonic desire to be a cow in Switzerland (aka Mary McGoon
syndrome).
