Amy – I love fennel! The Kitchen was where I first had fennel and they have never failed me on anything :)

Debbie – it’s great, and I’m very lucky to have such an awesome restaurant locally.

Caitlin – ohhh, I’m sorry sweetie! If I can find that recipe, I’ll definitely post it!

Tartelette – ha! You made me snort beverage through my nose ;) When you come, if you can stay over a Monday night, we’ll do Comm Night. xxoo

Rosa – it was fantastic, thanks.

Charlane – so fun!!

Pearl – thank you.

Kathy – yup, I think that’s really exciting, to meet great people and feel like you’ve just expanded your world, in the good way.

Asianmommy – me too!

Aran – thanks, hon!

Amanda – thank you, I did just that and it helped right away. I’m sorry you don’t like beets – I used to be indifferent, but I love them now.

Kristin – ha ha, isn’t she a riot? Yes, I think that ice cream would be so dreamy with that bread pudding. Mmmm, bread pudding…

Mollie – well, come on out to see me and we’ll go! :) I’ve never been to Blue Hill… it sounds so amazing though.

Liz – Oh, so awesome of you to visit the blog! It was great meeting you all. I didn’t realize you are Kristen’s mom. You raised such a lovely daughter – you should be very proud. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Melissa – it doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a great feeling. The prunes with the pork AND the roasted veggies were so amazing. If you find a good recipe, let me know :)

Jo – :)

Mark – yeah, I don’t know what the deal is with their policy, but it’s annoying. The great thing about most patrons of Comm Night is that they are pretty open-minded about the food (and fish head/tail). Okay, I wanna see you eat a lychee ;)

Katie – you don’t strike me as a recluse at all (Arnie, say it isn’t so!) :) Thanks, my dear. You are always so sweet. xxoo

Mrs. E – thanks! Yes, these are my friends from Sydney who gave me such a lovely tour of their delicious and beautiful city. I know, who would have guessed an urb reader right at the table? hee hee.

Sil – I don’t see how anyone could not love Argentina. Oh the food… :) I’m sure they will love it and Ben’s mom is going to meet them down there too! She’s going to love it!

Nichole – oh sweetie, no worries. We’re sorry to have missed you, but know that things get busy. At least you’re local so I know we can go to Comm Night with you and Mr. Hottiepants anytime! xxoo

Cindy – ha ha! Thank you, you’re sweet.

Mary Jo – it’s so great to have you and Liz commenting! Such a pleasure to meet you four. I really hope you have a wonderful time in Argentina with Ben and Kristen. They are awesome and they have incredible moms to thank for that.

glad your friends arrived safely (and congrats to them on that bun in the oven!) and that you got some good conversation in :)
