Who is your culinary inspiration?My grandmother she was always able to make a delicious meal with anything she had available, including her beautiful garden where she grew herbs small vegetables and had a couple of fruit trees as well.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would probably buy a bigger car so that I can transport all the food that I have to buy weekly basis for my class. My little car is not very convenient and have to make a one day shopping into a two to three day shopping to be able to get it all to my school.
