Remember this post about NPR?
Specifically this:
“Secondly, should you be a local NPR listener, you may be familiar with the uber-cheesy “Food For Thought” with Dick Stein and Nancy Leson. Each week, these two banter wittily about restaurants or recipes, or something else food related. Well! Guess what! My friend lives next door to Dick Stein, and on Saturday I was over at her house and I got to eat one of Dick Stein’s donuts! He had made some and offered them all neighborly-like to his neighbor. So! I’m hoping that this week, he will talk about making donuts and I’ll be so excited! That’ll be a good commute day.”
Today was a day when SB had to go in, too, so we were cruising along in the carpool lane, listening to KPLU as usual, when Food For Thought came on. The intro song was about donuts! We got all excited and turned it up louder. AND THEN, Nancy Leson MENTIONED MY BLOG POST! She harassed Dick Stein for not sharing his donuts with her!
SB and I totally lost our shit. It was so cool! Except she did mention that I called them uber-cheesy. They are! But I love them anyway! I hope they weren’t offended. I also need to call my friend and tell her about it. I hope Dick Stein doesn’t stop sharing his donuts with her.
It’s not up yet, but you will be able to hear it here once they load the segment from this morning.
It’s up! Listen here!
It was a very good commute day, indeed!
Ooh, ooh, it’s online! Listening now!
“Some woman”…hee! (And some free advertising for Google Alerts.)
They have one of those tiny donut carts at the Tacoma Farmers Market, I’m assuming it’s the same sort of thing she was talking about visiting at Pike Place. Mmmmmm…
How exciting!!! This was a good Food for Thought..nice work.
xoxo
That’s SO cool!
That is so cool! It would’ve been nice had Nancy mentioned it was Jenny from Zesty Enterprise, but, whatever. Still cool!
Oh, now that is so, so cool! This is how you know your blog has really “made it,” right? I love the idea of Nancy reading your blog at the paper and saying, “Why didn’t I get any donuts and this blogger did!!??” And, she doesn’t even like donuts that much. You’re a blogstar!
The line at the Pike Place donuts place is INSANE! Can’t wait to see if it’s the same things at the Tacoma Market soon!
I don’t know, Jenny–I think this blog post should be moved from “uncategorized” to “almost famous.”
I’m in agreement with Beth.
How exciting! While listening to the podcast, I could almost hear, simotaneously, you and SB going crazy in the car!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! So completely cool! This is FABULOUS! Yet another step closer to fame (and fortune?).
I too pictured the two of you in the car with the radio full blast, thinkin how cool is this (well, actually screaming it)!! Love it when you bring me tidbits of americanism.
That is so awesome, I feel like I’m famous because I know you!!
Oh stop! All of you! Please form an orderly queue and I’ll sign autographs for all…
Just kidding. Seriously, though, thanks for getting how exciting this was!
