I just got a call from my friend Scott who runs a popular cooking demonstration program at our local library. (Libraries like Telluride are unique in the programs they offer, because they have very large budgets.) I've presented at this program (held monthly) a few times.
Well, they flew in the author of
Cookies for Grownups to do an evening presentation tomorrow complete with wine pairings.
I could hear the slight panic in Scott's voice when he told me Kelly (the author) slipped on our famous Telluride ice yesterday and broke her ankle in three places. She's scheduled for surgery this afternoon.
I knew immediately why Scott called. He asked me if I'd be willing to to take over her program and bake all the cookies, while she Skype's in from the hospital. Needless to say, I said I would. Thank God I don't have anything on the docket for the next few days.
Andy's bringing home a copy of her book this evening.
As I said, only in Telluride...
