Sela Ward says it was a shock when she got her first script for the crime drama CSI: NY. "I had come from all those shows where I knew everything about love and marriage and breaking up," she says, describing her past series. "And here all of a sudden ... I get the script three days before I start shooting and I've got to learn about gunshots and murder and bludgeoning and dismembering!" Sela has since conquered the lingo and says she is having a blast working with co-star Gary Sinise. "He's just great!"

When she's not on a set, Sela enjoys spending time with her family, but that doesn't always include the kitchen. The last time Sela was here she and Rachael tried out a recipe. "You had me making pumpkin seeds," Sela recalls, "they were a challenge!" She prefers to put her creative energies towards the table settings, so Rachael asks if Sela would ever consider developing her own tableware line. "I would love to do that. You want to do it with me?" she asks Rach, who quickly replies, "I would love to! We can call it Sela-ware!"
