The Wife and I having fun in Holland on our first International Blog Quest. It would be rude of me to type any more while I should be taking photographs….
On the 1st anniversary of StefanGourmet.com I wrote “ I would love for all of my blogging friends to meet and go on a big cooking spree together, but alas that’s not going to happen with the distances involved.” Conor from ConorBofin.com then responded “Your cook-up idea appeals.” And now, less than three months later, he is here with ‘the wife’ visiting for a weekend of cooking, eating, and a great time. I welcomed them with a dinner that included ravioli with a filling inspired by ChgoJohn’s recipe and PutneyFarm’s brownies for dessert. To include more of our blogging friends in this, we are making Richard McGary’s Butter-Poached Lobster Tails tonight.
I couldn’t have thought of a better topic for my 300th post. Stay tuned for posts on both of our blogs about the stuff we cooked and ate together…
Hope you and Stefan have fun. We’re anxiously awaiting posts of the adventure. 🙂

Am certain you are having a wonderful stay: isn’t it great when such can be organized!! Actually the same has just happened on the ‘kitchensgarden’ blog where Celi got together with Chicago John for a tour of Chicago’s shops and markets. Whilst the rest of us sit enviously behind a computer keyboard 😀 !

Stefan really drove the cooking on this one. On the photos, I have a raft of them. I will process them (some of them) this evening and see what inspiration comes from that.

Acting as ‘photographer / taster in chief’. I could get used to it.

That’s awesome, Conor! One of the things I love about this silly food blogging thing of ours is that we can become friends with people all over the world. Have fun in Holland!
