The Kitchen Playground

Barking Mad have come up with the fabulous idea of having a blogger dinner party. Because I’m not already obsessed with reading a gazilion blogs on a daily basis (or as updated), I think everyone should join in so I can find some more blog gold. I am going to completely ignore food bloggers for the purpose of this dinner party on the grounds that I would be too completely intimidated to cook for such people. Maybe I’ll throw a second virtual dinner party for food bloggers after this one.

So here is the deal;
Create a post telling us who you are inviting and what about that person’s writing makes you think they’d be an intriguing/funny/interesting person to share a meal with. What have you learned about these people through reading their blogs and what would you hope to learn about them through breaking bread with them?
And of course when you’re done, let me know AND link back to Barking Mad.

Lucky this is a virtual dinner party as my list will undoubtedly surpass my stores of flatware!
1. Pioneer Woman - who is number one on my list because I’m still tickled pink she liked my recipe.
2. Penni from Eglantine’s Cake - as well as being a fabulous writer, I already know her so I wouldn’t be too shy to talk to her.
3. Em from the Dance of Small Things - because she’s clever and makes me think harder (and I already know her so I wouldn’t be too shy to talk to her).
4. Rhonda from Down To Earth - because she’s wise and content and lives the way I try to live. She’s inspiring.
5. Danny from Dad Gone Mad - because he’s hilarious and full of brilliant euphemisms for genitalia. While on that topic, he introduced me to the term “junk which still makes me giggle uncontrollably.
6. Bossy - if only to see if she refers to herself in the third person in real life
7. The Bloggess - not only is she funny and crass but she’d be sure to get good and drunk with me.
8. Stephen Fry - sheer idolatry on my behalf. I heart Stephen Fry majorly. I really truly do. He uses language in ways I can only dream of.
9. Docwitch of Dark Side of the Broom - because she often reminds me of myself and I’d love to see if that holds true in the flesh
10. Jaywalker of Belgian Waffle - because I adore that particular brand of Brit humour. And quirky village fetes
11. Antonia of Whoopee - for much the same reasons as 10.
12. Tanis of Redneck Mommy - she can make me howl with laughter or tears as the mood takes her. So much passion, so much humour. So much everything.

I’m stopping there. Not because I’m done per se. Because I believe that 12 is the perfect setting size.
