The internet has made us more detached and isolated than ever before. Don't want to go to a store? Amazon will deliver right to your door. So when Joy the Baker announced that she was having a rooftop picnic to bring her readers together in person, I was amazed. Not that she would be so generous as to cater a complete picnic, complete with her homemade cupcakes, for people she'd never met, but that so many people would actually come.
It's a testament to the power of food, and more importantly, people that love food, that made Sunday's picnic such a success. I not only got to meet Joy the Baker, who was as charming and funny in person as she is on-line, but also people like the lovely couple behind Savour-Fare. Their little girl knew exactly what to do with her cupcake, and enjoyed every bite.
That's pretty damn cool.
