Meeting P-Dub...Take 2


Mom, Julianne, and I went to visit Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, again!  She came back to one of the local Barnes and Noble stores after the recent release of her new cookbook.  While it was nice to get our books signed and see PW again, it was quite a long wait and also a bit frustrating.  This of course was not the fault of PW herself.  This particular Barnes and Noble location is small compared to a couple other locations locally that are much larger.  The staff was not particularly helpful or communicative either.  The most irritating thing, besides getting in line shortly after five and not getting to PW until eight, was that PW gave a presentation at the beginning that a large group of us did not get to see because the store staff made us line up well before six.  It was so tiresome in fact that although she is my favorite blogger that I’ve been following for roughly five years, I’d have to seriously consider whether I’d go back to a signing again.  In spite of the great BN Debacle of 2012, we had a good time on this rare occasion that the three of us were able to go out together.

Marlboro Man, PW’s husband, made an appearance too.  Her three younger children were traveling with them as well but one of them was sick so they stayed at the hotel. 

You can find PW’s blog post about her time in our fair city here.  

I look forward to trying out some of the delicious recipes in the new cookbook soon!
