The TV Interview

Last Thursday Lovella received an email from the producer of the weekend morning and noon news at the Global TV network station. She was wondering if Lovella or any of us ladies would like to come into the studio to talk about “Mennonite Girls Can Cook”.

And that is how it came to be . . . that Lovella and the first "one of us" who responded to Lovella's email . . . namely Kathy, got to head to Vancouver yesterday . . . while the rest of us sat glued to our TVs at home, waiting for the final part of the 12:30 News. Well, almost final . . . sports came later yet . . . so there were still some people tuned in.

We were eating lunch when the "heads up" announcement, showing our book cover, came along . . . saying something like . . . "Coming up after the break . . . we'll talk about "Mennonite Girls Can Cook."

And there they were! Sophie Lui interviewing Lovella and Kathy about how the blog came about.

On my couch . . . I sat and giggled through the interview myself. It seemed so surreal. My friends sitting there with Paska and Platz in front of them, talking about the upcoming cookbook that we have been working on! I would never have expected to see this on the News. Sort of like the old Sesame Street song that went something like . . . one of these things is not like the other . . . one of these things just doesn't belong! Can you guess which thing is different before I end this song?

But . . . here we are! Mennonite Girls Can Cook on the Global TV Noon News! I wonder. . . is that the name we would have chosen for the blog . . . had we known it would become our name too? None-the-less, I'm tickled pink to be on this ride . . . with all of you!
