Scenes from IFBC 2011 New Orleans

I’d say

that this past weekend at IFBC

was among the very

very

best of my life,

but I’m not convinced that quite captures how much I loved every

single

deep fried,

sweet southern

minute.

I felt engaged in each session.

I ate my (and your) fried food quota for at least 16 full weeks.

I “found” beads in the French Quarter.

I may have even [successfully?] guilted my dear friend, Andrew Scrivani, into photographing my second book, a cookbook.

I laughed and loved with dozens of friends.

I Bourboned more than one Street.

I danced and cocktailed and hurricaned til each morning came, hot and humid.

Made absolutely certain to publicly embarrass myself no less than 3 [three] unmentionable times.

Slept a combined ten hours in 5 days.

The International Food Blogger Conference New Orleans was

incredible.

Can’t wait for Santa Monica :)

    Ha! It seems a lot of people are publishing their IFBC posts today! Loved, loved, loved every minute of last weekend and I CAN NOT thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to come. And I’m so glad I got to meet you!

    After IFBC Miami, IFBC Memphis at the Peabody Hotel would also be a good choice in the future!

    Andie, you did an AMAZING job organizing this conference. I had an amazing weekend as well, and as you know, I was very excited to meet you! I posted the pic I snapped of you, me and Marissa in the recap I did on my blog. I’m so glad I was able to attend. I met some amazing people and came away with some great tips and ideas. I can’t wait until next year!

    No guilt trip involved, whatsoever. I am excited about the possibility of working with Andie on her book. Judging by how exciting and well organized IFBC was on her watch, I am sure it will be amazing. You all need to come to Santa Monica.

    I’m so happy that you had such a great time! I can’t watch the video at work right now because I don’t have sound on my computer though :(

    Can you please do a recipe about spinach and artichoke dip for me? It’s one of my favorite dishes to make and I’d love to see your take on it.

    I want your job! Want to trade, how does being a 6th grade middle school math teacher in Brooklyn sound to you Andy?

    Your posts make me feel like I was there with you…and your words make me remember how important it is to “follow bliss” in moments and do what I love in life.
    Thank you!
