Birthday Fiesta!

Yesterday I went into Manhattan to celebrate my birthday! I went with my friend Sarah to see Emerill (the cooking guy). I really only know who he is because he was on Jon and Kate plus 8 but going to a taping was on my list of New Yorky things to do and it sounded like fun so I got a sitter :) I even go to have lunch with my hubby before the show :)
We knew the sound guy so we were VIP even (making it seem more fancy to me than it really was). The guest star was Sammy Hagar from Vanhalen! Him I was sure I could not pick out of a line up but hey, I didn't know they had guest stars on cooking shows anyway before yesterday so the fact that I didn't know him was not a big deal. We got to sing with Sammy, clap (a lot!), and sit for a really long time. It was fun and definitely an experience. Afterward we got to taste some of the food (that was the VIP part I guess) They made Mexican! Yummy! Definitely put me in the mood to make some. I was planning on taking some pictures with my phone (especially cause we got to hang out afterward with the crew and guest star) but my phone went kaput for no reason as we sat down :( Jimmy met us afterward and fixed my phone cause he's so good to me :) So I could take some pictures... but Sammy was gone, and just as I opened the camera app they shut off the bright stage lights :( So here is one of me frantically trying to take a picture while the lights are on...
Nice floor huh? and here is one of the set with the lights turned out...

Emerill stood right there and... well surprisingly Emerill did not cook.. Sammy cooked, the guys that help Emerill cook, but Emerill, he mostly just drank margaritas. He's got the life. And so do I... what a great birthday :)
ps it airs in Mid May, I'll keep you posted, I'm near the front on and aisle so you can see me :) i got to shake Emerill's hand
