Last night I had a little date night with myself and had the pleasure of attending a 1 1/2 hour interview with the one and only Ina Garten. People, it was AWESOME!! She is so down to earth and inspiring and just as wonderful in person as you'd hope she'd be. I'm still on cloud 9 thinking about it. She gave wonderful advice, talked about her favorite foods & restaurants and experiences in the business. It was amazing all around. I love her.
We are gearing up for Easter and planning the last minute lunch/dinner details. I'll be back tomorrow with a recipe for a yummy Easter bread. Ina's having rack of lamb and risotto with roasted vegetables (in case you were wondering, which I know you were.) And she'll be at the White House on Monday teaching kids how to make guacamole (sign me up!!) Easter always calls for asparagus in our house and I"m really looking forward making that this year.
Unrelated, I generally don't like to talk about people snaking my photo's (which happens frequently) here on the blog. But I'm kind of bent out of shape about it tonight. Please don't take my photo's/recipes and claim them as your own. I always try to credit where I've gotten any recipes that are not my own. I almost never use photo's on this blog that are not mine. But when someone alerted me to this (a recipe that I posted nearly 4 years ago) and it's been shared over 13,000 times, I don't know it just gets me bothered (yes, I already went on and commented on her post.) So give credit or link back to people's work/photo's/etc.,. that you might use on your blog or anywhere for that matter. Can't we just all play nice? That is all.
