Kelly Choi, Shuna Lydon, Peels Spicy Ginger Cake & Pastrylandia on TV, NYC

It's not every day someone famous calls you up and asks you if you'll be on TV with them to talk about one of  your favorite recipes.

For this I, and my nervous system, are eternally grateful.

It was great fun, don't get me wrong, once the lights were on and my sharp, beautiful, smart, funny, adept gracious director, Kelly Choi, was telling me what to do and getting me to talk about food and spices and why gingerbread and ginger cake should be spicy, not flat, all was well in the world. We even really baked one together! And really ate it! Not just on TV.

And not just any TV, but on the little televisions now in every New York City yellow cab. On Thanksgiving.

If you watch it yourself you'll also get to have a peek into Pastrylandia! It's my pet name for my not-so-diminuitive pastry/bakery station/production area below sea level on Joey Ramone place and 2nd street, on the Bowery: home of Peels, my new home.

Dear Shuna,

I have been waiting and waiting for this announcement.

Believe it or not, after sleuthing around on the IT for a long time, I finally figured it out yesterday.

Guess I'm not exactly Sherlock Holmes. Hope all is well.

I clicked on the Peels link. You have an extra apostrophe on the front page, as in "walk-in's". It shouldn't be there. Thought you'd want to know. Looking forward to eating there next trip to NYC.
