1.5 Seconds of Fame, by Martha Francis/ Pasta Queen
So, two weeks ago, Robyn Wolfe (Marketing) had this fabulous idea:”Let’s do a ‘Day in the Life’ blog! We can start with you- from cracking eggs to plating up a plin.”
Great! We started planning the ‘shoots.’ How many shots… could we do it in one day or plan for several, shorter? …. Then I thought: “I have a video camera in this fancy new ipod I bought! We could do a video! And that would give me something to do at these sessions I bought…”
Then last Tuesday, Katie O (Tom’s assistant) calls: “Tom needs you to be able to do a filming on Thursday. He wants to do a pasta from beginning to end, grinding the filling, rolling the long sheet- finally, making them.”
Okey-dokey then. Then I realize they stole our idea. Oh well, less work for us, but I call Shelley (blog mistress- who loved Robyn’s idea) and Robyn and ask: “Do we really want to do this same thing…?”
So King 5 TV and Jesse Jones come- they film, I do my whole schtick. I call my friends and family: “I’m going to be famous!”
Then the thing airs (you can watch the video linked to this post) and much of it was about a spray to make your apron stain resistant. I don’t think I’m even in it for 1.5 seconds. Never mind. Uh, Robyn, Shelley…….?

You’re totally famous – there were at least three angles where I could see your feet in the corner of the screen. Honestly though, great job!

I couldn’t see the video, but your picture on the blog is great. I’m proud of you. Mom
