I like cream cheese in just about anything.

I told the caterer I'd work for nothing if he'd teach me about catering. I lasted one week full-time. It was exhausting.

Writing is work and cooking is relaxing.

I'm always astonished to see how badly people can behave when they think no one is noticing.

One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.

Catering is extremely demanding financially and physically. It's a business.

In a mystery, the sleuth must be believably involved and emotionally invested in solving the crime.
