In case you’re wondering…
Yes! I have a Home Economics degree (aka Family and Consumer Science these days). After graduation, I worked as a Country Extension agent (4-H program) in Johnson County, Texas.
Next, I worked as a Kitchen Supervisor for the Greenhouse, a now-defunct luxury health spa once connected with Neiman-Marcus.
After my children got older, I enjoyed a position in Research and Development for Pizza Inn. (That’s why I write a lot about pizza.) I’ve also done freelance work for Panasonic (microwave cooking schools,) Cuisinarts, Amana, and various other appliance companies. Consequently, I love kitchen gadgets and electronics.
Along the way, I went back to school to do Ultrasound, then worked for 12 years before retirement.
