L to R: Greg, Nancy, and Sean

A week before my pre-launch book party for Noodles Every Day at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in High Falls, NY, I spent a wonderful evening with bluecashew’s business partners Sean Nutley and Greg Triana, and Nancy Greenwald at her Arbor Bed & Breakfast, all great friends I’ve made over the last 10 years in the Hudson River Valley.

I’m grateful for their friendship, support, and constant encouragement. Writing a cookbook can be a lonely process, except of course when you test recipes and the crowds gather!

And so we spent time together that evening discussing the upcoming event, but also just relaxing and enjoying a delicious meal, each one of us had a hand in preparing. I made my sate marinade for the shrimp on the grill, and Greg added his touch by cooking them on alder wood. Nancy made one of her famous colorful tossed salads with strawberries, cucumbers, and avocado scattered over beautiful leafy greens, and Sean served the wine and made sure the glasses were filled. We raised our glasses and wished for a successful tasting and book signing event, and on May 16th, our collective wish came true.

Thank you for coming to my tasting and book signing, everyone…and if you missed it, know that Greg and Sean always think ahead for their customers and had me autograph books before leaving the store. Take a moment and browse through their cookbook collection. Then call them to put any of my books on hold for you. If you want a special message included, they will call me to drive over to the store and put pen to paper…and I happily will.

Cheers to all!
