Public Radio Kitchen Eat-Up, originally uploaded by WBUR.

Or maybe I should title this post “universal grub,” because as I commit my meager thoughts to WordPress, I’m reminded how my riff on Adam Gaffin’s baby while trying to explain the Kitchen elicited knowing nods and a few chuckles last evening.

But on second thought I think I’ll stick with “You Our Listeners,” as it nicely captures the communal spirit of this project as well as our first “eat-up.”

The parting of the virtual curtain to break bread with the flesh and blood behind the urls was, for me, personally exhilarating. I hope you got something out of it as well.

You offered plenty of food of thought, some served up with sizzle. Thank you. I apprehend with even more clarity than before what a complicated, diverse, opinionated, passionate group of folks you foodies are. And let me tack on “talented” to that string of adjectives. Oh, and “generous” as well, as evidenced by the stone soup nature of last night’s repaste.

Thank you.

Let’s do it again sometime.

Thanks, indeed! Especially to you seasoned bloggers who welcomed newbies like me with open arms. It is a pleasure to be a part of this community.

I second Erwin’s request for a roster. Is such a thing possible, Ken?

While eating and meeting up the other night some of you asked for the almond tart recipe. I’m afraid I didn’t get all of your e-mail addresses, so here you go:

Thanks again, George & WBUR. Sorry I had to rush off before saying good-bye. I was wondering if the roster (websites, blogs) is going to be made available so I can see what folks are up to.

Thanks to all at WBUR for a wonderful event. I can’t wait to go to the next one, perhaps it will be in conjunction with the restaurant week events. I am sure that they would love the social media press…. :)

yummy
