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…

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….

So nice that you guys could meet and what fun! It’s, also, a coincidence. Yesterday Cecilia (http://thekitchensgarden.com) visited Chicago and we spent the day hitting my favorite markets.
If I couldn’t join you, I’m honored that you’d be inspired by my family’s ravioli recipe. Thank you for that and the shout out, Stefan.

That is certainly a coincidence! There is of course a post coming up about the ravioli. We all liked it, and I was surprised at how different it was from other ravioli I have tasted.

O che bello! what a wonderful idea, Stefan … who knows … one of these days, a cooking spree together. Or not … YOU can do the cooking … and I can do the eating! (and the washing up, okay …) …

P.S. Still haven’t read all of your looooong e-mail…

How fun to have a guest and to include other bloggers by way of their recipes! I still have a fantasy about a giant blogging party somewhere in the middle of the country! 🙂 Congratulations on the 300th post! That’s a lot of cooking!

And I’m not even in the same country… It certainly was a lot of fun, and yes, it has been quite a bit of cooking.

Thanks for stopping by! There will definitely be some great shots, as Conor did most of the photographing and he’s much better at that than I am. (He also has a better camera.) I’m looking forward to using some of his beautiful photos in my posts about our weekend of cooking 🙂
