Hey Carol, maybe next year you can leave Paris for Austin in the summer. Doesn’t that sound awesome?

I know! Right? I barely got out the little post that I did. He’s got the writing gene, that’s for sure.

That Ruhlman is making all of us look bad. Damn him.

That’s because I paid each attendee five bucks.

Her book is already published, Nani, if that’s what you’re referring to.

BTW, authors don’t need authorization to write about a person or company. Look at the new biography of Oprah Winfrey by Kitty Kelley — she didn’t get Oprah’s permission and it’s a blockbuster.

You have further to go, sistah. I left Saturday afternoon on a 1.5 hour flight to Oakland. And when I got to my desk, Ruhlman had already posted!

Wow, you’ve been going to IACP for 20 years! It’s amazing, isn’t it, how different it is each year — not just because of the venue and who attends, but because how we’ve changed. Now you have a blog and you tweet. I’m sure you met the people you communicate with in social media — a whole new audience.

On TJ’s cookbook. Been there (w/ insiders), and it’s not going to happen. There are, of course, already 2 TJ’s cookbooks out there in the market (unauthorized, that is).

Don’t know how you did it–already back and posting! I just finally got my luggage tonight (it went to one airport, I to another) and am still in a stupor from the whirl of ideas, energy and non-stop interaction. After more than 20 years of attending these, you’d think they might be “samey,” but I’m not bored yet. Too hard to choose what I liked best–maybe reconnecting with all those I’ve gotten to know, including you!

Wow, that’s fantastic, Michelle. Yes, I tweeted about the story earlier today because I was so proud of you and Laura Martin-Bacon, serving food to the homeless and teaching underserved kids to cook.

Think about the video. I’m not sure we authors have to do it. We just have to think about how to incorporate it. I’ll write more about that later.
