Kandee, you are sooooo lucky! Oh I know Steather..nice to see you my old ASU friend..life in NC is good? yes? Hi Kandee! Well, life in NC is different to say the least. I'm actually taking a year off next year, so I'll be back in AZ during that time. (IBS get-together here I come!) You are very good at restraining yourself! I may have done something silly like jump in his lap or something! LOL. LMBO..someone young and pretty like you (love your new picture...Thanks! It was actually from a family photo over Christmas.) he'd jump at the chance to have happen, but someone his mom's age...ahh, I don't think so. Funny thing is..I just froze at first and couldn't think of his name..all I could think of was Good Eats, Good Eats, Good Eats. Aaah, I don't watch Good Eats as much as Iron Chef... In fact you might call me an Iron Chef addict Of course, I'd probably recognize Alton's voice more than his looks, since he's more of an announcer on that show... What I couldn't get over is how much better looking he was in person (maybe it was the cap that covered his funny hair) AND that he was much thinner in person, unless he's recently lost weight, but then you know how they say a TV camera makes you look heavier. He's not tall, we were about eye to eye, so he was I'd guess only about 5'8". And I can't believe no one else recognized him! That still dumbfounds me....and another thing I wondered about was why he took the monorail instead of a taxi or limo..but then if you know Vegas, the monorail is by far the fastest way to get around, so I think we may see more and more stars riding it. I guess not everyone is addicted to the food network.... Ahh, so true..but then I'll often watch his show only for all the other scientific explanations on it..(a little secret..I made his pulled pork and it was awesome...the rub recipe alone is amazing) Pulled pork! I've had to use every measure of contraint known to humanity to not eat that stuff since I've been here. I do sneak a teensy tiny bite every now and then....that stuff is gooooood. But not nearly as destructive as the chicken or turkey I usually have to settle for!
