When Johanne @ French Gardener Dishes invited me to an International Women’s luncheon (Philadelphia chapter), I graciously accepted.  Johanne, a fellow Canadian and I met via the blogosphere.  She has a passion for the arts, a creative flair in the kitchen, in the garden and when entertaining.   We share a love of gardening, travel and food, so we immediately bonded.  We had tried to get together before to visit some local gardens, but it had not worked out, so this was a perfect opportunity to join her with her club members.  So why not I thought – I am International, I am woman (hear me roar), and I love food and culture, so you can imagine how much I was looking forward to this invitation and meeting a blogger friend for the first time.  Johanne was as fun-loving, worldly and warm as her posts portrayed, we both felt like we were old friends meeting up again after a long absence when in fact we had only just met.  We talked about blogging, Fiesta Fridays, food, gardens and more food 🙂  Do click on the link above to visit her blog and see how she incorporates food, art and entertainment in her artistic and expressive blog.
