I survived my very first book event tonight. Thanks to the generosity of Elliot Bay Books and their wonderful customers.
And also thanks to Jon Rowley, who took photos for me when I asked him to, and talked when I asked him to, and demonstrated, and smiled and nodded and was generally very agreeable.
And one…
Hey Seattle! I'm here.
Wandering around somewhere. Have I ever told you about my blind spot when it comes to directions? We need to talk about it soon. I get lost about once a day. You think I'm joking…
Do you recognize those hands? Can you guess whose they are? Want to see them in person?
Thursday at…
It seems impossible that I'm finally writing this. But I am.
Two years ago I set out on a personal odyssey. I had grown up in the country where I fished and foraged, and used my hands, but now night after night in the corporate world, sitting blurry-eyed, scrutinizing excel spreadsheets and watching the cafeteria…
I finally posted my book tour schedule for this fall and I'm going to be taking my horse and wagon around the country hawking books.
I'm going to yell about it from town squares.
So if you see a strange girl doing that sort of thing in your town, say sometime starting in late August, it's probably…
So, I'm taking my horse and wagon around the country. And the wagon is going to be full of one book, called "Food Heroes." It has my name on it too. And I'm going to be hawking it in town squares and such.

The Downtown part.
I think this whole concept represents my life in a weirdly accurate way. For example, when I was a kid, I went to high school in Manhattan, with characters like Ivanka Trump. But then at the end of the day…
I just had one of those weekends for the record books. I'm not sure how it happened really. It just did. It started with a passing invitation and culminated in an itinerary entitled "Georgia's Down Home Downtown Weekend." And that it was.
It all began with these chickens.
And some very large and colorful roosters.
They all had…
This is really hard. But today, I'm going to send back the last box.
I've been getting my book in its various stages from my publisher over the past several months. And I get to open the box and peruse it and nit pick, and wonder if it's too late to crawl under a rock, and…
I'm going to take a pause from my deer hunting adventures to share with you what showed up on my doorstep yesterday. I think my non-hunting oriented readers might need a rest. Plus I want to talk about chocolate. This chocolate.
It comes from a charming chocolate factory called Charles Chocolates in Emeryville, California.
His things are…
