“People learn a lot about what they think they know about other people from what they see in the media.

So many worries surfaced at once that my brain spun.”
“I love pork. I love a good BLT. I know that sounds horrible but I do. I'm a total foodie. I love cooking and I love traveling and I love finding new places to eat and new cuisines to eat. Don't be shocked if you see me munching down on a baby back rib.”
