Three cookbooks ago I got to meet her as well -- the 2 seconds that you got to "talk" to her as you were whisked through the line was magical and of course, you end up saying something inane as every clever thing you think of saying while you're waiting in line goes completely out of your head when you really get in her presence! <br /><br />The last cookbook, it wasn't a signing but we did get to sit and listen to a conversation with her and the bookshop owner and she answered questions -- a live "Ask Ina" -- as well. But, sign, no up close and personal that time but she did sign the book just not in front of us.<br /><br />You got far better pictures than I -- they were more crowd controlling I guess!<br /><br />It is a magical moment and I'm so glad that you got to do it.<br /><br />BTW, I'm coming from the Contessa Cafe board and I guess I didn't realize you had a blog -- I'm adding you to my "Friends of Linderhof" on my blog -- <br /><br />Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-13900764807127971042012-11-16T04:17:15.041-08:002012-11-16T04:17:15.041-08:00I'm so jealous!!
