Who is your culinary inspiration?

Of course the food network has always been my inspiration from stopping the program at the end to write down the address to get the recipe to watching Julia Childs on PBS. MY DAD was a cook in Vietnam. So you can imagine the rules in our kitchen pertaining cooking. And of course Carla her laughter is contagious and her hair is an inspiration on its own.

What would you do with the $25,000?

HONESTLY, I would try to purchase some land or a home. So that my children and/or nieces and nephews won't have to worry about rent and maintaing that roof. Life has taken a major turn with the price of housing. I can no longer afford housing. And the only way is some type ownership. Just a little wish of mine.
