Pro Bono Baker was mentioned in the Northwest Herald this past week. Liz Wolgemuth wrote a piece on the Algonquin Sub Shop and quoted my description of the Where’s Waldorf sandwich.

Monthly Archives: July 2007I am listening to the keynote breakfast talk: What Humans Do with Artificial Intelligence on day two of the BlogHer Conference here in Chicago. Last night I met nearly 40 food bloggers from around the world at Lao Sze Chuan for dinner. It was quite an experience to meet the authors of some of my […] show 11 comments Trackbacking your entry… I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :) Gemma it was so fun to meet you. Thanks for all your work organizing the dinner. Gemma, it was so much fun meeting up with all the bloggers that night…the food was excellent. Thank you for helping to organize the dinner. Gemma, Friday night’s dinner was awesome – the food, and more importantly the comradarie. It was fantastic! Thanks so much for organizing it all. Gemma, that picture is making me hungry again. Thanks again for organizing the dinner. It was great to meet you. Hope to see you again soon. Hi Gemma! It was great meeting you! I had so much fun at the dinner. And thanks for helping us get back to the hotel on the Red Line. I can finally say that I’ve been on the L! : ) Hi Gemma, it was so great to see you (lucky me, again!) and I love-love-love the photo Elena took of you at our food blogger dinner. You and Terry were so GREAT about making all the arrangements and I see from here, you kept helping us negotiate the city even after the food left the table. Me, I’m still reeling from the entire weekend, so many people, so many great conversations. Hugs to you, til next time … That’s a beautiful photo. Though that does not look like spinach, but water spinach, which is quite a different vegetable. I’m curious to know which one it is. Garlic kangkung or water-spinach is simply the best thing on earth! That’s a beautiful photo. Though that does not look like spinach, but water spinach, which is quite a different vegetable. I’m curious to know which one it is. Garlic kangkung or water-spinach is simply the best thing on earth! Gemma, I’m still dreaming about the food we ate that night :-) I will be in Waupaca, Wisconsin with my family for the next week. You can read about this lovely place in some older posts. I intend to consume my fill of cheese curds, Ting pop and New Glarus beer. I will be returning this weekend for the BlogHer Conference here in Chicago. I only have […] show 2 comments i’m a lurker and i’ve been enjoying your blog for a while. when i saw the post about waupaca i knew i had to leave a comment…i’m from wisconsin (a small town east of waupaca actually), i lived in chicago for 6 years and now we’re in baltimore.

My trip was a bit rocky due to a canceled flight, a delayed flight and a botched Super Shuttle reservation. I arrived at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront at about 2 am and soon began a […] show 1 comment What a lovely post! I’m going to send it to a Baltimore friend. Regarding solitary travel, I think people sometimes confuse loneliness and solitude. The solitude can actually be quite pleasant at times. Choosing what to do, what to see, where to eat and such without consulting anyone else. But after a couple or few days, I’m ready to be sharing my experiences with someone. Last Friday Nick and I both took the day off from work and traveled north to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. We took the Metra Union Pacific North line to Braeside and walked about a mile down Lake Cook Road (there are sidewalks). The area had a large cicada population which made the walk quite entertaining. […] show 1 comment That is so funny, Devin and I were up there just last Saturday and they were giving out free basil plants. I didn’t take one since I already have some basil growing and plus we went up there on bikes (probably will never do this again). I really liked the model railroad part too and all its weird ewok architecture. |
