About Me

My photo
I grew up in Annapolis, the capital of MD, on the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River where we always had fresh fish and seafood. I love all things food: cooking, eating, trying new recipes and sharing what I make with family and friends. I must say that my most favorite (I have many favorites) food is fish and mostly catfish. So, I'm always seeking catfish recipes frolm all olver. I like my cooking, my daughter, Wendy's, cooking and my son, Dan's dishes, as well. I'm not a food snob; in other words, I also enjoy OPC, (Other People's Cooking) also. I've got loads of interests: cats and dogs, taking photos, Giant pandas, chandeliers and the arts. I am a former teacher, personal chef and recovering lawyer turned information marketer. I love (watching) football, basketball, extreme sports like mountain/rock climbing, snowboarding, skiing and surfing. My own extreme sports are swimming, walking and talking. Not necessarily at the same time.

Prom Time is Family Time

I had the great fortune and opportunity earlier this evening to spend time with my lovely granddaughter, Danielle, getting ready for her high school prom. Proud GranAngela is at her side.  This is a landmark event for all of our families.  My family, including her "Auntie Wendy", my brother, Garcia, sister in-law, Joyce and nephew, Aubrey, who remembers every birthday and milestone in Danielle's 18 year-old life; her dad, my son Dan's family, including my wonderful daughter in-law, Natalie, Pop Pop (big Dan), Earlyn, and Uncle Brenton; her fantastic mom, Yolanda's family.  We surely missed her maternal grandmom, Vanessa, tonight.  She would have been beaming and joyous, just as I was, to see how well Danielle has done.  Then, there's big brothers, Terrence and Anthony and Sage, Danielle's 4 year old niece and stepdad, Aaron.  Missing, but not forgotten were Mommie Phronie, Daddy Garcia, Big Mommy and Big Daddy, the great grandparents, who would have been overjoyed to see her.  We're all so proud and happy, Danielle! Love from GranAngela
