2012 James Beard Foundation Awards

The nominations are in!

I'm so thrilled to see that so many of my favorite author/friends have been honored with nominations. I started to list them but the list includes almost all of the nominees. Oh dear! Best to go to the link and see for yourselves.

I love this time of year: warm weather, golden sun, flowers, award ceremonies, vacation travel.

Congratulations and love to all you fellow food and wine writers.
