During an overwhelmingly stressful week (Hadley’s pneumonia is still going strong), Jamie and I were both featured in the media today!
I was hired by Johnsonville to do a segment on 9News about warm breakfasts for cold-weather days (HIGHLY recommend their new fully-cooked sausages; my kids are obsessed and I love they take only 30 seconds in the microwave).
I’ve done a variety of news segments–from fashions shows to travel tips–but never anything on food. Though I love cooking it, let’s just say styling it ain’t my forté
I’ll stick to eating from now on, thankyouverymuch.
Television newsrooms are never boring. In the past, I’ve shared the green room with the firefighters from the pinup calendar. Today, it was the Ringmaster from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
The uproarious dude makes ME look and sound like a wallflower.
In other news, when I checked my email in the middle of the night (we won’t even get into how I’ve been waking up ravenous at 3-4 a.m. since I started Paleo), I found a note from Bill Orchard of our local gardener’s group:
Hi Community Gardeners,Check out today’s newspaper for an article on Arvada’s own giant pumpkin grower Jamie Johnson.Look for him this weekend at the Festival of Scarecrows and the Giant Pumpkin Contest.Yes, he will be available for interviews and autographs.Enjoy,Bill
“Signing autographs?” HELP ME.Read the article and his video interview here.
And yes, I like that the reporter linked to one of my former columns in the newspaper about Jamie’s obsession and quoted me as saying “there was not full disclosure before the marriage.”
Give that dude a Pulitzer.
