As far as collecting goes, I've decided that I'm sticking to one collection of things. I have McCoy pottery and Fiesta Ware, but I never seem to have a kitchen big enough to really show anything off at all. So I've decided to collect autographed cookbooks. I started when I met Julia Child in 2003, just months after her ninetieth birthday. It was amazing. I felt like I was in the room with the queen. The Queen of Cooking she was and forever will be in my mind. So I could not resist meeting Ina Garten. Amazing. I've used her cookbooks and watched the Barefoot Contessa for years. And we had the chance to meet her. I even had Vail practice, "Pleased to meet you" and she said it when we got to the table. Craziness. Only a few pix, but good enough for my memory book.
