I am pretty good at staying on track, but sometimes, I just need to veer off the path a little. Call it a change of scenery. Normally, I blog about cooking with kids, family mealtimes and saving the world helping others. But tonight, I just wanted to give a little shout out to my friend Amy who was in town over the weekend.
Amy e-mailed me about 2 months ago, bursting with excitement bout her trip to the Napa Valley with Bush’s Beans. She wanted some restaurant recommendations – and I told her about the great meal we had at Ad Hoc. (Disclaimer – my sister works there. But she doesn’t know I am writing this post. Yet.) I offered to help her make reservations – and then invited my husband and myself to join her!
Oh, what a night. Side-splitting laughter, tasty eats and a blogging friend turned into a true friend, “in real life.”
Hey, I found thru Swee San’s on Twitter! Agreed! Blogging has brought together the like-minded! I got to meet up with nine other food bloggers who are living in four different countries in one shot! It was one of the most memorable chapters in my life! We’ve been following one another for quite a while. But, it just feels magical when we finally got to see the great minds behind those great blogs! Thanks for sharing your experience! I can perfectly understand you!
I’m so glad you invited yourself (I don’t think that’s how it went down) ’cause we had a great time! It’s funny how, if not for blogging, we probably would’ve never met – our husbands too!
Your pictures turned out so good – I need to take a second look at mine and see if I have some that may be able to be rescued.
That is so nice when the blog world collides with real world. The food looks amazing there, glad you had a great time!
