It is not goodbye…but till we meet again! <br />Yeah for getting all the recipes done…I am about 15-or so short. You are a very special person, I am so glad I got to know you personally!<br />BTW...Your chicken looks fabulous!

Even more so because I know that you have been a consistent member of the Tuesday's group as well and while you mention that those groups are "only every two weeks" - that is enough to add quite a hurdle to my own schedule. And of course it is not just the recipes, but you are an utter rock star when it comes to the commenting. Your consistency is off the charts and I am so indebted to each time you have come to our little old blog and left some cheer. It really means so much to my Mom and I. Not to mention getting to meet you in person. I have had that treat several times and look forward to more occasions in the future. I am writing this from a last minute but much appreciated get away to Vermont while learning you are south in the Big Apple. Too funny. So glad to see the smiling faces of the meeting Doristas. And lest I forget, your chicken looks ab fab. As always, thanks for keeping it real and PEACE OUT. :)tricia s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06247980519576579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-7247602979397929552015-05-24T20:55:22.598-04:002015-05-24T20:55:22.598-04:00Absolutely, this was a celebration.

I have two left unfinished and I think that will probably still be the count in 4 weeks. <br /><br />I agree that now is not the time to beat yourself up. It's a bummer that your last one didn't come together the way you wanted, but sometimes it just seems to be the way of things. You've had so much success over the course of this adventure, many of your creative modifications looked cookbook worthy. <br /><br />Have fun at your Dorista meet up.

I will not ever make all of these, though there are several that I'm so sorry I missed for whatever reason (like LIFE). <br /><br />Your writing is so delightful, and I hope that we will be able to meet. I too love the apple cake - made a zillion times too. And I'm sure your chicken was tasty - I can relate to your experience! I made mine after getting home from a business trip late. But! Needed to come in at the finish line with all of you. So well done! and on to our next month of reflection.

I certainly have looked forward to your posts every week. You keep things real and in perspective. I'm thrilled to have shared this journey with you. It is the people that have "made" this experience. Give everyone hugs in NYC.

But I do have to chuckle a bit as your attitude toward this dish was the complete opposite of mine. It was the last. I had to make it perfectly. I had to follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. Which, of course, is the antithesis of what we are to learn from AMFT, isn't it? In a way it was my own tribute. Heck, I even copied her photo styling. I'm proud of you for making a whole roast chicken a current staple and HURRAH for having completed everything! I do hope you will stick around to support those of us with a few more recipes to complete.
