I grew up in a world that did not give me a voice. I couldn’t choose Shop, had to do Home Ec. I begged to differ and lost that battle.
I ended up writing laws that affected 34 million people. I was 22 and making a difference.
Always, I try to make a difference, whether it’s with non-profits or others in my community, no matter where we live. Animal shelters, volunteer leadership, I’m there.
A voice was found and heard in my 30’s. I was no longer the shy kid in the classroom, first day of school when the teacher inevitably mispronounced my name. I do speak, and teach cooking from time to time, and right wrongs that are done to humans and animals.
It is hoped that it is done softly in my style of personal camaraderie but my style of writing is more intense. I would give you more recipes if people wouldn’t threaten to sue me for printing them, with changes and references to the original recipe.
In the spirit of getting along, I remain, cheerfully, Dee
