Creating your Perfect Circle
I don’t have the friend circle that I need to grow, it’s important to have it, otherwise, we’ll never be our best.
I love to cook. Anyone that knows me is very aware of this. I research recipes, I watch cooking shows, when I go on vacation, I walk through local grocery stores and other food markets. Cooking is my thing.

This was a fun experience. Nowadays, things are so different. I don’t know if it’s the hustle and bustle of American life or just the people that I spend time with, that joy of cooking and food isn’t around anymore.
