Yup, my Mac is on life support. It just blinks the question mark over and over and over. I checked it like a pot of boiling water for the better part of an hour this morning, just being optimistic ... then I snapped into reality. I had recipe deadlines due today for my next season of Cooking for Real (yaaaaaaay! thanks for watching!!!), but my Mac didn't care about deadlines lol. Needless to say I used some tissue to wipe away my pitiful tears and went to work on my desktop. Crazy thing is, my desktop was a mess! It wouldn't connect even though it said it had a connection, I mean I totally turned into an at-home IT today. Luckily all my recipes go into my notebooks first and I did have some stuff backed up, but not the things I just wrapped up yesterday like my finalized 13-episode pitch :-(. I had such a plan for today. I knew I was behind on blogging because last week was so busy for me so after sending in my work, I was going to "play" ... which for me means spending time over here sharing pictures and stories. With the computer meltdown and all I'm a bit setback. Gimme a day or so to visit the computer doctor, they say it'll take 3-5 days to fix and recover files. In the meantime, I'm getting my desktop set up for real work and I'll check in with some stories about last week as soon as I de-stress and put out my lil fire. It was a busy week though, I did the Today Show, celebrated a cookbook release with Spike Mendelsohn, moved my garden around, shot some videos with Lipton and some fellow New Yorkers, made a pretty pizza and began menu planning for the AC Food and Wine Festival party I'm throwing. It's called Sunset, Sliders and Spirits on the rooftop pool at Caesar's. (click on the link for tickets, the event title is wrong on ticketmaster, but it's for the right event) BTW, speaking with the event planner, I found out it's pretty intimate, so get them early if you plan on being in AC for the fest. I'd love to meet ya and eat with ya!OK, gimme a few tech days and I'll be back in shape ...
