As ever, I will be blogging for the benefit of the National Kidney Foundation, in honor of David, my best friend. Two years ago, on July 25th, 2007, he had a lifesaving kidney transplant to halt his Alport Syndrome.
His new kidney is still chugging away, happy and healthy and he is well and doing fine. It's such a relief to me to see him healthy again! Thanks to the research funded by the NKF, patients like David no longer have to see chronic kidney disease as a death sentence - new treatments and transplant techniques are being developed and fine tuned every day! They do important work, and I'm proud to support the work they do.
I hope you'll join me for this year's blog, The Chef's Table. We'll spend another hectic 24 hours cooking a "chef's tasting menu" - a multiple course meal made up of some old favorites and some new experiments. There will be recipes, step by step instructions, and cooking pictures. We might even manage a little bit of video, if things aren't getting too terribly messy!
Please save the date - Saturday, July 25th, 2009, beginning at 9AM EDT, and concluding at 9AM EDT on Sunday, July 26th. Stay up late and help us make a difference!
