About me
- I can't imagine life without:
- Crisco (and of course my wonderful Home Ec students at Endeavor Unified Middle & High School!)
- I am completely indifferent to:
- STORE BOUGHT COOKIES!
- I sometimes pretend to:
- be Ann-Margret in Bye Bye Birdie and write letters to Elvis.
- The best breakfast is:
- Scrambled eggs (don’t forget the cheese!), thick, home-cut bacon, 3 golden-delicious, fluffy waffles, a cup of OJ, a cup of Joe, and Good Morning America!
- My favorite Tuesday outfit:
- My chartreuse, full-skirt shirtdress (starched, of course), with my favorite polka-dot salmon colored apron with lace trim.
- Song stuck in my head:
- Quando, Quando, Quando
- Who are you Haiku:
- the smell of cookies
wafting from my oven makes
me swoon with pure joy
