Sweet Tooth and The Pioneer Woman

Let me tell you the story of how we met Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman.
The reason I bring this story up right now is that just a few minutes ago we received our 1st order of Ree Drummond's new cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks Dinnertime.
Our daughter Sabrina spends time online hunting down things of interest.  Years ago when she worked at a Museum in Tulsa, she had discovered a blogger named Ree Drummond.  At the time, Ree was not as well known as she is today.
Sabrina ordered The Pioneer Woman's calendar (no longer available) to give her co-workers for holiday gifts.  Sabrina continued to follow Ree's blog.
At one point, Ree announced that she was going to have a cooking demonstration at her lodge and invited followers to put their name in a drawing to be invited to this demonstration.  Sabrina put her name in and she was selected to go, along with a guest.
Her guest??  Jeff, her dad. 
On the appointed day, Sabrina and Jeff drove up to the lodge and had a great time with several other guests participating in the cooking demonstration with Ree Drummond and her guest from New York.  Among other things they learned to make pretzels.  The highpoint of the afternoon, though, was the delicious lunch which Ree served to her guests.
That day sealed Sabrina's enthusiasm for The Pioneer Woman and started Sweet Tooth ordering all her cookbooks, her autobiography and some of the Charlie story books which Ree wrote.
In addition, Sabrina's enthisiasm for Ree caught on with me and Jeff.  We have become devoted followers of her cooking show.  We even place our commercials on her show. 
Every Sunday afternoon we sit down to watch Ree's t.v. program which we have DVRed from its Saturday debut.  Sometimes we even catch our ad on the show and that is a lot of fun too.
So, Pioneer Woman, we have adopted you completely.  We know the feeling of the beginning of the empty nester stage of life as you sent your oldest daughter off to college.  We have used your recipes for our meals and we truly enjoy the idea of a vegetarian, now devoted to eating beef!! We also enjoyed watching you create Falafel in Pita Bread this past week, a sandwich we truly love as well.
Oklahoma has many wonderful celebrities.  Ree Drummond is certainly one of our favorites.
