Attitude of Gratitude

Nigella's John Hancock

One could say that I saw Nigella speak tonight, but in all actuality I experienced a master a work. There was no food or TV cameras involved, just gorgeous and glamorous Nigella and a microphone (and one terrible Dutch moderator who would not stop interrupting). She was truly amazing and inspiring and for one hour I was on the edge of my seat hanging off her every word.

And how could you not? She carries herself with so much dignity that she commands your full attention, almost unknowingly. And she deserves it! I have never heard such a natural and gifted speaker who is obviously well educated and knowledgeable about every subject. After each question, there was no pause, no thought needed… her answers flowed as if it were a perfectly choreographed ballet.

For a woman who has had so much pain in her life, you would expect some bitterness, some anger… but she is such a gracious and eloquent woman, without an ounce of any resentment. She is patient and made every person seem as if they were the only one in the room. There is just something about her…

And she’s lovely! Her natural beauty shines through even more in person than on television (and you cannot say that for most people!). That, and she oozes sensuality. No surprise there! Her husband is lucky! Plus she has the most incredible ta tas!!

It was a marvelous time. Now, I gotta go. I have some potato cakes with smoked salmon to make!!!
