buffalo chips.

tonight. the other yulie and i went to the see and hear the pioneer woman. if you don't know her. you should. thepioneerwoman.com. she's a person that bloggers like me adore. look up to. admire. envy. wish our blog could be like hers..... i can feel a lot of sighs coming in this post.

she isn't your usual pioneer woman. either.

she's married to the marlboro man. and has 4 punks. i call them littles. she calls them punks. 2 of them and the marlboro man, too. sat right in front of us at the event. and yes. marlboro man he is the marlboro man....

she was funny. and beautiful. and had perfect hair. and her littles. were not perfect. and she was honest. and a bit embarrassed. when they burped into the microphone. in front of over 700 people. yes. it was perfect. she's real. just like the rest of us. but she is talented. she cooks. and takes amazing photos. and lives on a ranch. in the middle of nowhere. and has the coolest kitchen. and a terrific blog. and now. she has a best-selling cookbook. glad it's on my shelf.
