Claim to fame: My "Corn Yummy" casserole recipe. I get about 10 requests a year to make this dish. (And, yes, I am WAY burned out on it!)

Favorite website: www.tripadvisor.com. Don’t venture far without checking Tripadvisor first!

Favorite color: Turquoise blue, like the color of the Caribbean Ocean.

Favorite artist: My cousin, Sabrina Knowles, an amazing, spiritually-inspired glass artist.

Languages: French and Pig Latin. My middle-school friends and I took Pig Latin to a whole new level with Gibberish. Just add the sounds "th-g" before all vowel sounds while speaking: “Fth-gun Tth-gimes! = Fun Times!”

Best Halloween costume: All I need is a good pair of Billy-Bob teeth and I'm good to go. A bad Southern accent just seems to come naturally when I wear them.

Dream dinner companions: Three of my German ancestors who traveled across the Atlantic to settle in America.

Coping techniques for endless days of Pacific Northwest rain: Planning my next trip to Mexico.

People would be surprised to know: I’m fascinated by quantum physics.
