I went to school at Auburn University where I took a few Hotel & Restaurant courses for fun. I am retired and love to entertain and cook for people. My partner and I belong to an RV club (Rainbow RV) where I am able to cook for our Potlucks in locations such as on the Beach in Mexico, The Grand Canyon park and other inspiring places.</p>
