Seriously,  It’s only 3 weeks until the Blissdom conference! Where on Friday night, we Tastemakers will be front and center at a Tastemaker party and my little southern heart is gonna go pitty pat pitty pat when I get up on stage with the 8 other Tastemakers and participate in a recipe/cook-off showdown followed by a potato themed cocktail party!  There will be a mashed potato-tini bar and potato vodka and MORE!

I’m so excited my heart can barely take it!!

Did I mention that at this lovely little conference… Harry Connick Jr is going to be serenading us and then having a meet and greet with us afterwords?  Oh yes, he is 😉 {swoon}  You STINK Justin Matisse!!!
