Sorry, sorry, sorry....
I know - I'm like the worst blogger on the planet. Much to report - not scintillating, but long - so I'll probably break it up into parts. Part the First, San Francisco.
Had two events on Friday - the first was in Santa Rosa, at the Santa Rosa Junior College Culinary Cafe. A several-course lunch, including: potato leek soup, leek quiche with celery root remoulade, boeuf bourguignonne, and reine de saba cake. Everything was delicious, and prepared by the students. It was kind of a crazy event, I kept having to go up to the podium to hold forth. Weird. But fun. And I met a 98-year-old woman who I'd've sworn was 72. And the people who taught at and studied at the cafe were all completely great... one of them ran after me to tell me her story about how she once made Quail in Rose Petal Sauce for a man she was in love with who turned out to be gay.
In the evening I had a reading at Book Passage in Corte Madera. In between, my escort and I went to Sausalito to pick up the rental car I'd be using to drive up to see my very oldest friend Matt in Fort Bragg (California, not North Carolina.) We were late picking it up, and my escort insulted the Hertz guy, so I found myself in the middle of this whole big thing, but all turned out well.
The Book Passage reading was great, too. Well, actually, to be honest, I felt like I wasn't really on. But I think people liked it anyway. And the women who work at Book Passage are just fucking amazing. I mean really. Everything booksellers are meant to be in my sexy daydreams.
Then I got in a car and drove to Mendocino in the middle of the night. I almost fell asleep and died. But then I drank two diet pepsis and chewed a pack of juicy fruit, and didn't. And then I was in Mendocino, with Matt. And his wife, Laura. And all was well.
More later.

Read your book over the weekend, laughed and laughed. Thought I was crazy. Many of the same things happen to me when cooking, in my case probably a guy thing. Hurry and write another.
Hi Julie,
I just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that a copy of your book was shipped by Amazon to me here in Albania of all places! So now you know where at least one copy is living :) Your book was fun to read and inspired me to make that potato and leek soup!
