I had the insane privilege of attending the PBFW Festival this weekend with Foodbuzz! This annual event is something I've always wanted to see but never wanted to pay upwards of $200 for. Lucky for me, when you go there to "work," you get in for free! Work... HA! Good lord, I love my job.
After a horrid drive home through wind and rain, and after a refreshing jog in the light mist, I made these chocolate-peanut butter cupcakes from Multiply Delicious. The perfect ending to a perfect day.
Other than telling you that I met Tyler Florence, sipped some fine wine, made friends with the BV Winery sommelier so we could trade free swag, ate tons and tons of fresh, delicious, gourmet food, and had the time of my life, there's not much to say. So I might as well just show you some pictures.
Oh, wait, there is one thing. I accidentally ate some bacon in my haste to stuff bubbling flatbread pizza in my mouth. And guess what? I didn't spit it out, and It didn't kill me. This doesn't mean I'll be abandoning my ovo-lacto-pescatarian ways anytime soon, but I just thought I'd share this experience with those of you who care. Bacon used to make up approximately 79% of my diet, you know.

this eggplant tapenade was excellent.

I think this was tuna, "poached in olive oil and topped with a summer relish."
oh, hey Masaharu Morimoto!
I was a frequent patron of this random bucket of raspberries.
