Book Release and Party

The long anticipated arrival of From a Writer's Kitchen in book form was realized yesterday.  Though not quite as well attended as any of the Harry Potter book debuts, it was still quite a momentous occasion.



It's nice to hold the book and browse through it while sipping a cup of coffee with my feet up.



What, you are wondering, does a just-published-in-print food blogger serve at a celebratory dinner?


Why Thai take out, of course!  We feasted on pad Thai, pad see ewe and som tum (spicy green papaya salad and a favorite of the author's).


I'm pleased to say that the first printing has sold out!

  9. I LOVE IT! And, somehow it is just too appropriate, in an amusing kind of way, to have Tai take-out to celebrate! I have always guessed we would have great fun together, Bonnie; now, I'm convinced! Your book looks wonderful. Did the author sign it?
