So, my life has been sprinkled in fairy dust lately. More good stuff than I could possibly recap but

[traca]

this, I had to tell you about. My friend sent me an introduction to his friend on FB. He just moved to Seattle, thought you might like to connect. Cool. Then I look on his page. He was the Executive Pastry Chef at the Slanted Door in SF. Apparently he did the dessert section in the Slanted Door cookbook. Holy cow! Um, yeah. I'd like to know him. Thanks!

How neat is THAT?! May your first in-the-flesh connection be a dessert cooking date!

Ha ha ha! That's awesome! I may have to pin it to my wall. Thanks Marilyn.
