    Eeek, I just got that notification in my e-mail!!! I had forgotten about it and wasn’t sure why I was getting “Hot Raw Chef” in my e-mail but then it clicked, and when I saw your name after that I was BEYOND happy for you! Seriously, girl – you must be so proud and rightfully so. I couldn’t be happier for you, and I know you will be doing wonderful things with this opportunity :)
