Rememeber ChickClick.com? Great site and major casualty of the dot-com bust (although its Snowball counterpart, IGN.com is doing great. Corporate gender bias, perhaps? Anyway, Caro used to work there. I was trying to work out some kind of promotion deal with them when I was at Paramount Pictures working on Save the Last Dance. Small world, again. Funny to think how closely Caro and my paths came to crossing a few years ago. Tomorrow we are taking off to Athens (Georgia, not Greece) to do some wedding planning.

Heidi Swanson, one of the founders of ChickClick, is now doing food photography and writing cookbooks. Her cooking blog, 101 Cookbooks, is really sharp. Nice to know that a casualty of the dot-com implosion has moved on to making really tasty tarts.

Also of note: ChickClick never returned my phone calls when I was pitching them Save the Last Dance. The movie went on to be an 80+ million dollar hit for Paramount that year. I remind Caro of this on occasion, usually when I want to pull her pigtails, so to speak. I think she's fed up with me bringing it up, so maybe I'll make this post the last time I bring up the topic.

Not.
