I would never have guessed that that was your first time with a wood-fired oven - you did a stellar job with my mac & cheese and I was happy to defer to your judgement. :-) Yes, I remember that conversation at the end of the night and I agree - the best food is that made to show care from one person to another, whether it's a fancy birthday cake slaved over for days or just a toasted sandwich offered when you're snowed under with work. I think there was a lot of care in what we all made for the bloggers' banquet!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-5528714853548619082007-11-22T21:40:00.000+11:002007-11-22T21:40:00.000+11:00I have only just come across your blog and the fir...I have only just come across your blog and the first thing that sprang to mind was how beautiful your humility was...<BR/><BR/>I assure you that prior to last week, i had never been in front of the face of a wood fired oven and your macaroni cupcakes were in grave danger!!!<BR/><BR/>luckily they weren't scorched and i think I picked up the last one once i was "dismissed" from the pizza oven".<BR/><BR/>again, as i commented on jack's post, everyone felt insecure going in, perhaps even inadequate, myself included if not especially. But wasn't it a pleasant surprise to meet a group of people with something in common who each recognised and appreciated each others' contributions?<BR/><BR/>i recall having a conversation with you toward the end about the nut clusters; you said, "but they are so simple" and i tried to respond along the lines of, "that's not the point" because you did something, did it well, with delicious ingredients, filled with heart and soul, and proffered it to a group of strangers with the intent of... friendship? kinship? goodwill? i don't know. but what you brought was fan-f;in-tastic!grocerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860154539429230909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-19562186352230203562007-11-22T16:59:00.000+11:002007-11-22T16:59:00.000+11:00It does look and sound as though it was a hoot.

Great post and list, Cindy, though I assure you that after a few more drinks my conversation would have been less gentle and more cheeky... it was great to meet you outside of blogs and facebook, and I'm glad we both established we are Arrested Development fans! :)clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-88409730394700828512007-11-20T10:05:00.000+11:002007-11-20T10:05:00.000+11:00Ok this is my morning check of email and with emai...Ok this is my morning check of email and with email subscriptions to comments now, it's too hard to resist replying. My inbox is clogged with comment replies now, oh this is getting out of hand.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can't believe they didn't show the final live. It just goes to show how popular netball is as a mainstream sport, despite being the most participated sport in the country. I feel like I need to write a post about this (after work, I don't post at work, just read and comment) on my "other" non food blog.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-70979993853576607922007-11-20T09:51:00.000+11:002007-11-20T09:51:00.000+11:00No netball skirt, Vida! :-D Although with the re...No netball skirt, Vida! :-D Although with the recent hot weather Michael did note some envy of my light summer dress... we might see a netball skirt before the silly season ends!<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm... there may or may not exist photos of me dressed as Shannon Noll for a party (complete with fake facial hair).

This is getting ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, back to you Thanh - Michael just walked in the door from his next netball round and he stinks. He actually spoiled that World Championship final for himself by seeing the result on a news website before seeing the game televised. Whoops...<BR/><BR/>Vida, there was no way I was going to forget you!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Duncan. :-) Any title you'd prefer to 'gent'? I can edit it to 'dashing macaron hero' if you'd prefer.

Either her or you are probably the first to comment, but since you can't start off comments with your own post, that leaves me the winner. <BR/><BR/>For that I reward myself one mac and cheese cupcake. Please bring along one for me next time we get together :-). <BR/><BR/>I ate three of your mac and cheese cupcakes. I have to admit, they were very good, even though there was no meat to be seen in them at all. <BR/><BR/>And Michael, netball, that's a girls sport hehehe. I'm just joking. I have to admit that I'm a closest netball fan. I watched most of Australia's matches in the World Championships. That was a great final when they beat the Kiwis this time. It's not cool to admit liking netball though.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.com
