Who is your culinary inspiration?Anthony Bourdain was not afraid to fail, he tested everything. My idol.
What would you do with the $25,000?Currently i am a care taker for my Mom and Uncle. The money would come in handy to help them out in these later years. They both bed ridden and I am their only outside window to the world. I do everything for them. Cleaning cooking sewing I am thier care taker. At times it is hard. But I smile and solder on with my mission of loving ❤️ care and understanding ❤️
