Pulitzer Nominated Dip: Me & The Radish King

A couple of months ago, Rebecca Loudon posted a recipe for spinach artichoke dip that sounded divine. I just had to try it so I made it last night. I fixed enough to serve T's whole floor at work and today it's almost gone. Great stuff! I'm not into Gorgonzola, or following recipes for that matter, but I just substituted French mushroom brie for it and it turned out scrumptious. I'll be converting it into a chaya recipe for my one-of-these-lives chaya cookbook as chaya tastes like spinach except it has less water and more vitamins. This dip would make a great crepe filler as well.

And, speaking of great, I just love to dance the I-Told-You-So! dance whenever I can. I love that all my newly discovered "Best" po' bloggers are winning awards, acing contests and placing books. One thing I know is that I know how to pick them. And so does Rebecca's publisher. Rebecca, who's just a nose hair above Alison Stine on my list of the Best of the Best as top poet (who blows the top of my head off) has just been nominated for a Pulitzer for poetry -- me and Rebecca both. What a great fantasy if Rebecca & I met as a result of placing as finalists; that'd be so cool. Heck, I stalled on my book in order not to have it published the same year as Nate Mackey's book and Siken's Crush, both major winners last year. Ha! Do I know how to pick 'em or what? Tally ho, Rebecca! May the best radish or radial win.
