Starstruck

I don't get star struck usually...  

I once drove next to the guy who played Dr. Johnny Fever on WKRP in Cincinnati on Wilshire Drive....

big whoop...  

Then there was the time I saw Al Pacino step outside of the see and be seen restaurant, The Ivy, in LA...  

He leaned over the curb and launched a huge loogie...so gross.  

Bill Blass did a personal appearance at Neiman's and I met him while working for St. John Knits.  

He looked like he would rather have a ground glass milkshake than talk to me.  

Paula Deen had a book signing at Field's a few years back and 

I waited in line during my lunch hour to get my book signed.  

She was smooth as melted butter, Darlin', and very nice... 

She said I had an accent....Do Moliners have accents??  

Then it happened this morning...  

As I was cleaning bathrooms, picking up Legos, socks and an errant orange peel off the floor, 

I dropped a quick message to the Mad Hungry page on Facebook.  

The cookbook, Mad Hungry, Feeding Men & Boys, by Lucinda Scala Quinn, 

is one of my recent go-to cookbooks for great, fast food.  

I have mentioned this tasty tome in past posts.  

Anyway, I had a question about the Asian-Style Pork Roast that I have in the oven...  

I thought perhaps one of the Mad Hungry minions would send me back instruction, 

when lo and behold, the very LSQ herself, replied and gave instruction.  

I about fell out of my chair!  

Lucinda is part of the Martha Stewart dynasty... 

She has her own cooking show, for Pete's sake!  

And here I am, unshowered, in robe, hair in clippie, speaking with her... 

I'm a little verklempt.......
