Hey Look! I'm in the Newspaper!

I was afraid to tell you until it was actually in print - I was interviewed by my local paper, the Sacramento Bee, along with Garrett and Cakegrrl! You can learn about why I am a Rachael Ray fan, why I started this blog, and some background about me in general. I'm so glad it was finally published. I think I was developing an ulcer in anticipation.

This week's Food Section also has a great story about the basics of food blogging. In addition to local blogs, tons of other sites are mentioned, including the Well Fed Network, Diary of The Food Whore, Is My Blog Burning?, and Pie is the New Toast.

The theme for the photographs of the three of us is very creative, although when he first explained it to me, I was a little freaked out about whether they would look silly. My sister-in-law will be happy to see that bowl since she gave the set to me for Christmas (thanks, Michelle!). I cleaned my kitchen for much longer than usual in anticipation of the "photo shoot" and tried to tell myself I just wanted to do some spring cleaning. Yeah, right.

Getting interviewed by a reporter was a new experience (Hi, Bob! Thanks for the great interview!). We talked for probably a total of about 40 minutes. I then spent the next three weeks fretting and wondering if I said anything lame. You be the judge.

If this is your first visit to Everything Rachael Ray, I hope you'll check it out, find some recipes, and give them a try! Trust me, if I can make them, then you definitely can.
