Q: Who are you?
A: See the About Me section.
Q: Why Tex-Mex & Southern food?
A: I grew up in Texas, the daughter of a daughter of a Mid-Western woman. My grandmother’s family were ranchers. We have deep roots to all things Southern and Western (which are often confused and conflicted).
Q: Why do you post metric measurements?
A: Many of my dear friends live across the pond, in England and Europe. This is a hazard of marrying a Brit and living there for several years. They frequent this site, and I am ALL for spreading the Tex-Mex love.
Q: What sort of camera do you use?
A: A Nikon D80. It’s awesome. I don’t know anything about all the settings yet. But I love the quality of the photos it takes by this novice just pressing a few buttons.
I also use Photoshop CS4 to edit lighting, resize and sometimes add borders if I’m feeling like it.
Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: You mean when I’m not writing for this blog, working full time, until recently doing online university full time, or scheduling fertility treatments? Absolutely I do. I love to read. My latest obsession is Twilight, and yes, I do feel like a tween, thanks for asking. I also LOVE to play The Sims 2.
Q: Does anyone else post on this site?
A: Why yes, they do! My husband, James, likes to post British recipes sometimes, and my friends Cerys and Maggy will both eventually be making guest posts. And so will my cousin Kammy! (this is a new development)
Q: What are you going to school for?
A: I recently graduated from Ashford University, and I loved going to school with them. My degree is in Social Sciences with concentration in Education. With this, I hope to one day own a preschool. I have worked with children since I was 14 years old, when I nannied in the summers. Early childhood education is a passion for me, just like cooking. I love helping tiny ones form their first ideas.
Q: Do you still work for Travelocity?
A: I sure do. I can’t say enough about Travelocity as a company. Our CEO, Michelle Peluso, is someone to admire. She’s incredibly clever, and nothing but nice. I don’t know another company like ours where you can send the CEO an email and expect a personal reply the same day. I’ve worked there nearly a decade now, and I can honestly say I still love my job. I’ll stop gushing now. I know how lucky I am to have a job that I enjoy.
Q: What’s the deal with people from New Jersey always referencing exit numbers?
A: Dude, your guess is as good as mine. It always makes me feel really awkward when someone says to me ‘I’m from blah blah blah, exit 192..”, like I’m supposed to know where that is. This girl is from Texas, and doesn’t even know her exit number THERE!
That’s all I’ve got for now. Send me some more!
