Who is your culinary inspiration?My granny has made the most impact on my culinary upbringing, so I have to say her. But, I was a fan of cooking shows growing up. Emeril, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, Paula Dean, were definitely inspirational.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have what I call my MMC (2100) plan to build a community for my grandkids grandkids. I want my family closer to me, and what better way than to live together in one community?
