Fat, compassionate, funny

I have a lot of pen pals and a huge collection of stickers

6. When was a time you were really proud of yourself?
I arranged for a celebration of an actress who was retiring.  I made three cakes for  the audience, each with a figure of her in one of her best known costumes.  I don't think she ever knew I had made them, but I stood off to the side and watched the praise she was given and felt so very good that I made it happen.

9. What is a fun memory you have with your best friend?
In about 1992, we had 9 children between us.  After watching us make pumpkin pies for a couple of years, tossing a pie into each other's face, the kids demanded they get a chance, so we made 9 little pies put all the kids on the lawn and let them throw pies at each other (the youngest was 9 mos old).  One of my favorite memories (and I learned pumpkin does not wash out of grass)

Creme brulee or cheesecake.  Or pumpkin pie, which I always eat for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas.
