Here's what Tamara Tunie told
KitchenKids!
when she stopped by our WalkLikeYouTalk Cafe!
xx
"Oh , gosh! I am going to hate myself, but back in Pittsburgh, when I was a kid, my elementary school had not begun the "School Lunch" program. So me and my older brother and 3 sisters, (yep, 5 of us), all came home from school at lunch time! We lived right up the street from the school, so it was not far. My favorite time, is when my mom would have a turkey roasting pan FILLED with CHEESEBURGERS! We would descend on that pan of burgers like PIRANHA! All the cheeseburgers gone in no time flat! But, the really best part of it all, was that we ate together, as a FAMILY!"

"You would think it would be cheeseburgers, but actually, it was STUFFING! I loved to sautee onions, carrots, and celery in a bit of butter, then add the bread croutons and water. A little salt an pepper, YUM!"

"Do well in your studies and find an activity, a sport, painting, writing, singing, dancing, whatever you are passionate about, and focus on the discipline required to be the best in that area, and it will inform every other part of your life!"
Thank you Tamara Tunie
