"When Lisa asked me if I would do the Happy Hour, I was like, "Oh no!" Then I said I would think about it. Then I said I would do it. I would do a Happy Hour as the Sicilian Julia Child, one of my all-time idols, making bruschetta. I'd do it as a hybrid in-person and Zoom presentation. The stage is set. Me, a short, Rubenesque and sarcastic Sicilian - actually Sicilian, French and Iberian (thank you, Ancestry.com) - woman, channeling Julia Child making bruschetta. One must envision me, 5'2+3/4" and very, very Rubenesque, channeling the 6'2" slim and refined Julia Child. But, alas, we both love FOOD, WINE, beer and spirits. (Story continues below photo gallery) The hour starts with me introducing the theme. Then, throughout the hour I intersperse tidbits of information about Julia Child with actual "how to" information on knife use, olive oil types and quality, coring and dicing tomatoes, different ways to dice, slice or mince garlic (garlic is its own food group), slicing and preparing the french bread, etc, etc, etc.
Did I forget to say that the in-person crew was enjoying wine and non-alcoholic drinks and tidbits of food? But, worry not, the attendees had to help put all this together. Finally, we enjoyed the bruschetta. We talked both in person and over Zoom and had a great time. Thanks to everyone who attended. I want to apologize to all of you who were not able to come in person. Soon, that will not be an issue. I love doing this stuff. A special thank you to Allyce. She makes it possible for me to do these things with her loving support." A great time was had by all as we gathered for a Happy Hour on “How to make Bruschetta” ♥️‼️Thank you, Frances (and Allyce) who graciously co-hosted the event.
