One week from today, I will be on a plane heading off to Napa Valley with Bush’s Beans for their Flavors from Around the World event at the Culinary Institute of America.  I must say I am very excited for a little getaway and especially for going to the Culinary Institute for the day.  Also, at Napa and the Culinary Institute of America, I get to hang out with some awesome women.  I met most of them this summer at EVO and can’t wait to see them again.  I have never been to Napa either, so thrilled to get to go there.

  2. Thank you so much, this was very interesting. I was actually born in Madrid (I’m not telling when though!) but moved around various parts of europe and finally settled in the UK when I was a teenager. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the delicious smell of spanish food always seems to get me going or something. It’s weird how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I even found a whole internet site dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I really should to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my husband to add your feed to my rss thing…
