Happy New Year!
I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you have a safe and healthy 2010!
Also, check out some of the new features on my blog. I’ve updated my header with new pictures. I’ve also included links to the recipes for the pictures you see in the header. Just look up on the top left for that list.
In late 2009, I added a listing of some of my favorite seasonal recipes in the right hand column. Be sure to check that out as well.
And the last new feature is a button on the left where you can become a fan of Beantown Baker on Facebook.
I look forward to brining you more tasty treats in 2010! Thanks for reading.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
OMG that inscription is fabulous!!! hahahahaha Alton is totally a cute nerdy guy… I would have tried to hug him for sure!
That’s so awesome, I’d love to meet him too! I tried the chewy and it didn’t work out, but I blame that on myself. NONE of my cookie recipes turn out right, and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…
I love what he wrote!! It would be so awesome to meet him!
That is wonderful! It’s such a great feeling when you get to meet someone who inspires you so much!!
Ahhhhhhhh, you’re so lucky! What a great inscription. I would totally frame that book!
I can’t believe I’ve found such a huge Alton Brown fan. He’s like the food version of Mr. Wizard, another nerd show I watched back in the day. I think Good Eats and Iron Chef America are my two favorite Food Network shows. Your night sounds like a blast, I’m sorry I didn’t hear about it and get to join in fun.
SO fabulous that you met him!!
Oh how cool, I’m totally jealous! 🙂
I just looked in the mirror. It’s true what they say…. I AM GREEN. LOL So exciting. I watched the 10th anniversary show last night on FN. I love him!!
(Side note: I think he got toooo skinny. He needs to be fattened up a smidge!)
That’s awesome! His inscription is so funny!
Alton Brown is the ONLY FN star I would want to meet ever! And I live in his State..his county…heck… his city and shop where he shops. I never get to “bump” into him 🙂
You are so so lucky!!
Awesome! I love meeting people like that and I love it even more when they are cool and nice in person!
Sitting in RI jealous that you got to meet AB. You are so right about The Chewy! That’s the ONLY recipe I use now.
HUGE AB fans down here 🙂
Lucky you!!
Very cool! One of my faves!
How cool! What a great experience!! And the picture is awesome to boot!
Joe – did you see the 10th anniversary episode? Apparently when he was dreaming up the show he said he wanted it to be Julia Child + Mr Wizard + Monty Python.
Sorry to make everyone jealous, and I do agree that he looks TOO skinny.
Everyone be sure to check back tomorrow for a big AB giveaway!
LOVE!
How fun! I love his shows, he seems like an interesting guy.
how exciting!
Very cool!
i cant say it is a specific favorite tip or show memory…but i always seem to remember his handy tricks and tips whenever i am making something!
I think my favorite episode is the one making biscuits with his grandmother, but my favorite recipe is the one for a dutch baby.
how awesome is that!! love the story 🙂
That’s awesome. Too funny! I love AB.
Oh wow, how cool!!
Alton Brown is ultimate because he actually teaches you WHY you do things in certain recipes. A lot of steps that I would probably skip I learn why I shouldn’t
I am a new follower of your blog (which I must say is an absolute inspiration with me having just started my own. I hope that one day mine can be half as good as yours!) and I literally squealed when I saw this post. I’m a huge fan of Alton too. What a guy! 🙂
