raffle payoff time…
You may remember a post back in September about a raffle that, my friend and former private student, Larry Fitzgerald, and I were doing for a charity event.
The winner, Bill Nassikas, was announced on October 1, 2009, and last night we finally held the cooking and dining event. Bill’s guest was Beau MacMillan, chef at Elements at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa, which received a rave review in yesterday’s Arizona Republic.
Bill is the President & COO of Westroc, owners of Sanctuary, so there is that connection, and congratulations to you both! We had a great night cooking together and then sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. A BIG thank you to my BFF, Peggy, for assisting with the class and the evening, I couldn’t have done it without you! xoxo
I’ll be taking off the next 5 or 6 days for an out-of-town adventure…. well except for Saturday, when the second phase of the Limoncello recipe will be here… hope you’re ready for that! Have a wonderful weekend and see you on the flip side.
Beau, Larry, Linda, and Bill

Why didnt I get to be your assitant???????
Because I promised it to Peggy back when it became a raffle item in September…. 🙁 sorry sister!
Was it a little scary to cook for a famous chef?
Hi Mom, No, it wasn’t scary at all…. I wasn’t cooking for him, we were all cooking together and besides, I’ve cooked with and for famous chefs for the last 21 years, so no sweat. 🙂
At our house, we all think of Linda as a big wig/famous chef.
Sharon, you made my day! xoxo 🙂
I think that at my house too, Sharon!
