I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.

My mantra was to educate people - to actually give them the know-how they could use - and to do it in a very subversive kind of way. I would entertain them, and I was going to teach them whether they knew it or not.

I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.

If there's something I feel certain of, it is that we're not very aware of each other and that's largely because of social media.

The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it.

I love poking fun at myself. I have a rather mean sense of humor.

I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.
