Representing Smith Family Recipes & Stories, Margaret Travels to Webster Groves

These wonderful professional photos from the Food Bloggers Potluck were taken by Jonathan Pollack, the spouse of Stef from Cupcake Project. Go check them both out. If you type the word "FOODBLOG" into the little field at the bottom of Jonathan's home page you can see lotso' photos from the potluck!

As is obvious from the looks on the faces of these cooks, there was a lot to oo and ah about!

The cake I want to marry.

Kelly and I listen. I think.

I serve myself my own dish. It was my favorite, other than the cake. That's just how I am.

My own dish, close up. Italian. Bechamel and chicken livers -- what could be better?

What's a Food Blogger's Potluck? Well, maybe it's something like a Teddy Bears Picnic! A lotsa fun! I fell in love with a coconut cake by Natalia. She has a restaurant in downtown St. Louis, and I can see why because this cake is just, I don't know how to say it. I want to marry it. Those were the only words I could think of while I was eating it. Ok, and that I want to fill a bathub with it and get naked a rub it all over my body for hours, while dipping my fingers in and licking and... Natalia has a recipe on her web site! Go get it! It's like a drunken heaven in the tropics, only in wedding lace. It's Argentinian, I think, as is Natalia.


Kelly was there with her mac&cheese, which was of course super-yum. There are she and I, above, apparently listening quite intently to a nice young woman who's name I cannot recall, but my hands are certainly blurring around the wine, now aren't they? Action, anyone?


I took the Italian blini-like dish (as Alanna tells me), which is the thing I am slicing here, and of which you can see a close-up. I think you can read the little card I put by it on the table, which gives a run-down of the ingredients.


There were rather more vegetarians than I expected at a foodie event, so next time I'll take something meatless. Anywho -- lovely night. Fun people. Great to be part of a food bloggers group, even if I am the oldest person there!
