When I was 32 weeks pregnant in the summer of 2009 (in fact, this was overflowing on my kitchen counter during my first meeting across town) and should have been doing normal third trimester things like eating jars of Nutella by the spoonful and repainting the baseboard trim (which still looks awful, not that this will surprise you), I instead decided that I really wanted to write a cookbook. Because new mothers are swimming in free time (new babies sleep are always sleeping!), I thought I would finish the book in six months; nine, tops. Stop laughing. Quit it.
Two and three-quarter years later, the baby is 2 1/2, I am the proud owner of 2 1/2 gray hairs and, oh, right: The book is done. Even though these have been the busiest and more nerve-wracking years of my entire life, theyve also been the most exciting and inspiring. I am so proud of this book. I cant wait to show it to you. I wish it were out tomorrow. But today, I have a few things to hold us over.
