What's your favorite down-home family-style meal?
On Christmas morning, my family gathers for a Christmas breakfast. I make waffles with maple syrup or chocolate sauce and pecans, pigs in a blanket, fruit, and crispy bacon. All are served with orange juice or hot coffee. I could prepare an elaborate lunch or dinner, but breakfast is so much more fun.
What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
I usually order steak and Frites with a salad, but I also love salmon with cheesy potatoes and a salad. Dessert is a must if key lime pie is on the menu.
Describe the perfect vacation.
Handsome and I love to cruise, especially on smaller ships. Now that the world is traveling, we sailed the Danube this past October. Unpack once, great food, nice people taking us nice places. All we have to do is have a good time.
Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
I still have Bunny, a stuffed rabbit. Bunny looks sad now—a string for an ear, a hole in his belly, another in his back, and his fur is mostly rubbed off. I can hold him and remember how he comforted me.
What are your hobbies?
I love to embroider, do needlepoint, work out at Jazzercise and yoga, take long walks, and play mahjong. Mahjong has to be the most challenging game I've ever played. I'm a voracious reader.
When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
I love mysteries of all sorts, contemporary romance, historical romance, and sometimes, non-fiction, particularly biographies.
