Book Signing Fun!
Anyone who’s anyone knows Rachael Ray has spent what little downtime she’s had this past month rushing about the country for book signings. The newly released “Just In Time” cookbook is doing well, and the fans are stampeding to get her signature on them. Of course, some folks get creative in order to get a few seconds with the Cooking Show Diva - and decide to compete directly with Mr. Rachael Ray - John Cusimano. They rewrote lyrics to the song You Are, and waited for Rachael to leave out the back door so they could serenade her.
Rewarded with a hug and kiss, she also signed his guitar. How cool was that?
In other news, for Christmas my darling daughter took it upon herself to help with the preparations, since Nana’s surgery had us all attempting to make sure Nana didn’t overdo it. She made a killer potato salad, and then with the help of Papa and Nana who sprung for a fondue set, she set her sights on Rachael’s German and Beer Fondue.
She served it with a variety of cut up veggies, breadsticks, and chunks of browned reindeer sausage (which we told the youngest was Rudolf… hahah!) and German bratwurst. It had the men of the house (well, the Papa and Boy) declaring it horrible, nasty, please let us eat all of it for you so you don’t have too… which of course meant they loved it and didn’t want to share. It boiled over a bit at one point, and brought out the beer taste a little too strong for us non-beer drinking girls, so we decided that we’d try a different recipe next time, but all in all it was a definite hit. How lucky am I to have a daughter who loves to cook so much?! I KNOW!
