It is with pleasure, great relief, and even greater trepidation that I can FINALLY say that Delancey<\/a><\/i>, my second book, will be published in three months and one day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Right! Three months and one day sounds like an eternity<\/i>. An age<\/i>. But we\u2019re closer than we were a month ago! Look at it that way. That\u2019s the way I look at it in my better moments, the ones when I\u2019m not staring at the clock.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I get to present to you the book trailer, or video, or whatever you call it<\/a>, for Delancey<\/i>. My publisher and the video team did a beautiful job! Granted, I am not exactly what one would call at ease<\/i> in front of a camera, but aside from the fact that I blinked so much that one might think my eyeball was about to fall out, I\u2019m very happy with it. I should also tell you, while we\u2019re on the subject, that Delancey<\/i> is available for pre-order<\/a>. And when it comes out, I\u2019ll be doing readings and signings across the country. Planning is underway! More to come!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I am also tickled – and turning into my grandmother, as evidenced by my use of the word “tickled” – to learn that my first book, A Homemade Life<\/i>, was chosen as a Kindle Monthly 100 Pick for February. \u00a0That means that the Kindle edition<\/a> is crazily cheap – $1.99 – throughout the month of February. And because they were feeling nice, my publisher updated it to include a sample chapter of Delancey<\/i>, too, at the very end. I love that they did that. I don\u2019t have a Kindle, and believe me, I am quite familiar with A Homemade Life<\/i>, but still, I bought it tonight and had it sent to our iPad, just so I could check it out. I\u2019m living large.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It also recently occurred to me that some of you may not know that Brandon and I have been writing a column on craft cocktails<\/a> for Food52? \u00a0Or, I don\u2019t know, maybe you know? In any case, we post there every other Thursday, which adds up to a lot of cocktails already. The next post will go up tomorrow. I try not to play favorites, but what the hell: my favorite is the unlikely-seeming Negroni Flip<\/a>. And in moments when that feels like too much work, I find it hard to beat a Campari Shandy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Somewhat, or maybe mostly, off-topic: I watched the documentary\u00a0Pearl Jam Twenty<\/a><\/i> for the second time last week, and I have to insist that if you haven\u2019t seen it, and if you have even vaguely fond memories of the hard rock bands of the early ’90s, or even if you don\u2019t, you should watch it. \u00a0I streamed it on Netflix, but it also seems to be available as a 12-part series<\/a> on YouTube. It\u2019s directed by Cameron Crowe, and it\u2019s wonderful, and I say that as someone who has always, actually, leaned more Nirvana than Pearl Jam. PJ20 <\/i>is as much about Seattle, my adopted city, as it is about Pearl Jam, and one thing I particularly love about the film is its exploration of the unusual tradition of collaboration<\/a>, rather than competition, between Seattle bands. \u00a0Brandon and I have experienced the same phenomenon in the restaurant business here – and I write a bit about it in Delancey – <\/i>and I don\u2019t know, but the whole film is just very inspiring. Brandon is going to kill me for publicly admitting what losers we are, but both he and I choked up the first time we watched it.<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, I was invited to deliver the keynote speech at Food Blog South<\/a> in Birmingham, Alabama, at the end of January, and yesterday, the esteemed Dianne Jacob posted an excerpt from my talk<\/a>. Being asked to give the speech forced me to think through my gut feelings about writing and creativity – so many ideas and decisions that I don\u2019t usually take the time to articulate, even to myself – and now that the anxiety of the actual talk is behind me, I\u2019m happy to have those thoughts on paper, and grateful to Dianne for her interest in sharing them.<\/p>\n

Happy Thursday, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
