I met a legend!

You guys! No recipe today, but I have to tell you: I met Jacques Pepin last week! Ok, so more like, I listened to him talk and then bought his memoir and he signed it and let me take a picture with him. But still. So cool.

Last Thursday afternoon Kate asked via twitter if I was going to an event at BU featuring Judith Jones, Alex Prud'homme and Monsieur Pepin... and I promptly bought a ticket and sent an apologetic email to my very understanding friends, begging off from a restaurant week dinner. I ended up eating a granola bar and some goldfish crackers for dinner, but listening to these personal-hero-type people discuss their lives, Julia Child, and the state of food in general was more than worth it. And it's always fun to meet blog friends in real life!

PS, Kate's description is much more thorough than mine.
