I Do Know What My First Meal

I Was Always A Person On My Mother's Hip In The Kitchen. My Mom Really Wanted Her Kids At Her Side As Much As Possible, And She Worked In Restaurants For Over Fifty Years. And My Grandfather Had Ten Children, And He Grew And Prepared Most Of The Food. My Grandmother, On My Mother's Side, Was The Family Seamstress And The Baker. So My Mom, The Eldest Child, Was Always In The Kitchen With My Grandpa And I Was Always In The Production And Restaurant Kitchens And Our Own Kitchen With My Mom. And It's Just Something That Has Always Spoken To Me.

My Mom Said The Two Most Important Kitchen Utensils Are Attached To Your Arms... You Cannot Mix Up Meatballs With A Wooden Spoon, Get In There, Get Your Fingers Dirty!

My Dream Job Is To Be A Rock Drummer And The Alternate Drummer For The Foo Fighters.

I Have Learned How To Breathe, To Use My Cords Differently. I Had Been Tilting My Head In A Way When I Talked That Wasn't Good For My Throat. I've Been Working On All Of That, And It Seems To Be Helping.

I Did 30 Minute Meals For Five Years On Local Television, And I Earned Nothing The First Two Years. Then I Earned $50 A Segment. I Spent More Than That On Gas And Groceries, But I Really Enjoyed Making The Show And I Loved Going To A Viewer's House Each Week. I Knew I Enjoyed It, So I Stuck With It Even Though It Cost Me.
