Wow, Sagegreen, aka celebrity chef!!! I just watched the segment - you did great and did us all proud!! You're definitely a natural! I'm not at all surprised they'd like to have you back! And it looks like you were having a lot of fun!

LOVE Ginger's Kitchen! But after I visit, I always seem to waddle — rather than walk — away. Great job, ladies.

Wow!!! Sagegreen, You were AMAZING!!! So wonderful and engaging to listen to, so natural in the kitchen. If you had a cooking show I would watch it every day! Keep posting links when they have you back! Seriously, I can't get over how much fun it was to watch that clip. Bravo! :)

You are so kind, fiveandspice! As I will turn 60 this next year, I dream of early retirement and a new venture. We shall see what evolves. There are so many inspiring stories on Food52!

Yaaah…Enjoyed watching your cooking segment, Sagegreen! You were great and soooo lucky to get to move around and actually “do your own thing”; my TV experience was a little inhibiting, they had me stand within a certain spot, and then the chef helper pushed the pot away before I was finished…lost about 2 minutes of what I had planned to talk about, totally had to adlib, had fun regardless. Anyway, were you invited back to cook again? :)

Yes, they said they would like to have me back! Next time I think I will know more what to expect. It goes so quickly! I think this is a better link to my particular segment. It was nice to be the lead segment on the show and website today! I was able to get a 168 mb download

You were fantastic, Sagegreen! You have a lovely screen presence, cool, collected, and full of enthusiasm/knowledge for your subject - I would not be surprised if they had you back on a regular basis. : ) Congrats!

Thanks! I had chiseled off the ice to my totally encapsulated car which then started sliding downhill...but eventually made it to the studio on time....it was great fun! I have never cooked live before. The host was wonderful keeping us on time.

...and, btw - I would have liked to add to the comment stream below but couldn't - whenever I click on "reply to this" it automatically re-directs to a new comment box after 2 comments (?), tested both on F52 side and mine, no luck on finding out why.

If it goes ok, I will! Wish me luck with my TV cooking debut! Mind you, I better keep the day job. What was really funny was that aargersi's hubcab (a finalist in his own right from an earlier contest) was actually going to video us together as a sort of Amanda and Merrill team, but he got called out to cook elk and make a demi glace elsewhere! We still had oodles of laughs with all our ideas.

OK, here is the link to the video clip for the Wed Jan 19th 'spiced latkes' segment on WWLP Channel 22 Mass Appeal, which will probably get archived soon:

and i must say, it's really thanks to aargersi (and ginger's well stocked pantry!) because she is certainly the cooking wizard behind all this magic!!

Can we group Skype? I am a rube :-) That would be great! Dr Babs will you email me again? New laptop = lost email addresses.

Thanks for the shout out! I just love Food52!!! This was so much fun to conspire directly. I had been so envious of those Austin potlucks from the summer, that when aarergesi invited me to come on down, I took her up on the offer! Tomorrow, a local TV station has invited me to cook one of my Food52 recipes live! I am surely going to tell everyone about Ginger's Kitchen, too.

This is just so cool. As if food52 weren't amazing and inspiring enough, Ginger's Kitchen broke the internet barrier and made things truly communal, cosmic maybe? I'm so glad A&M shared this with the rest of us!

Hey I just saw this! We did have loads of fun and Ginger's Kitchen will ride again soon! Come on y'all! :-) Waverly I will message you from the site so you will know when we reconvene - it would be great if you could head over too!!!!

A balmy cooking vacation - sounds like fun! :)
Helenthenanny
January 18, 2011
i am loving the use of the word balmy in this post and in your comment because i JUST had a conversation about the definition of that word with my boyfriend and a dear friend and they thought i was using it wrong to describe our austin weather! eat this, i'll say to them!! (i also looked up the definition using my iphone and the first definition stated, "having the qualities of balm" which to me, meant that i should say, "hmmm, this chapstick really seems to be more balmy." ha! c'est la vie!)

aw, thanks, Helenthenanny! If anyone is ever out this way, I can offer another balmy cooking locale...: )

If anyone wants to come to a seriously non-balmy locale I'll offer up Boston! :)

January 18, 2011
This may sound crazy, but I miss living in Boston so much that I would love to visit for some non-balmy food52 inspired cooking!
Sagegreen
January 18, 2011
Boston would be easy! Maybe we should wait for the spring though. Amherst is also available!
fiveandspice
January 18, 2011
Come!!! Spring would be perfect! Especially considering that at the moment rain and ice is falling from the sky, and I don't think anyone can travel around in this crazy wintery slush fest!!
