It’s countdown time. In one week the Muse sets off for food adventures of a magnificent and metropolitan sort. The James Beard Media Awards and The Food Writer’s Symposium at The Greenbrier, via D.C., are our May destinations. Planes, trains and taxis (no subways, thank you). Tickets have been purchased, hotel reservations made (thank you for great deals, Orbitz and Hotels dot com) and we are forcing ourselves to stop the pre-planning there. We need to leave some room for serendipity. Oh, yes, a letter to our senator has secured a tour of the Capitol. A White House invitation is in the works.
Every trip needs road songs. Here is the playlist so far:
‘So little time, so much to do’, Catherine Russell
‘Nigerian Marketplace’, Oscar Peterson Trio
‘Gonna take a miracle’ Laura Nyro
‘Back on the Block’ Quincy Jones
‘You must believe in spring’ Bill Evans
‘Hindustan’ Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby
Let the packing begin!!!
