Dear Gwyneth Paltrow...

Hereafter I will have to title this blog "Dear Gwyneth Paltrow..." Creepy? Perhaps a little. I won't pretend I wouldn't be just a little suspicious of a blog addressed to me, however I promise that this is completely on the up and up. You will not find me traipsing about your property like a lunatic. I simply want to extend an invitation to a dinner party with my friends and I in London in late May.

Let me explain...no, there is too much, let me sum up (dare you to name that line):

1. I have been working on a list of things to do before I die, inspired by the boys on the "Buried Life" (MTV). My best friend is also completing one.
2. Item number 37 is: cook dinner for a celebrity
3. I have recently bought a ticket to London (my first visit) with my girlfriends in May.
4. I have been on a "Spain...on the Road Again" kick a la Netflix. I called Spain home for a year of my life in college, and is continues to influence who I am, and what I do (professionally/personally). Clearly I found this documentary series totally amazing and embodiment of some of my favorite things: travel, food, wine, good company. Batali and Paltrow are phenomenal, down to earth, and funny (Bossols and Bitty are great in their own right as well). By the way, driving around Spain in a Mercedes convertible is item number 5 on the list. http://www.spainontheroadagain.com/

Hence, a brilliant idea was born during the last episode of "Spain...on the Road Again". Why not try to check an item off the list while in London...by cooking Gwyneth Paltrow a meal...A bit ambitious, I realize. But why not ask? So there you have it.

What do you say Ms. Paltrow? If you feel like bringing Mario or other guests that is fine by me!

I will be practicing some recipes just in case.
