Inspired by my lack of culinary experience and the fact that I didn't like to cook (especially when I first got out on my own) I had to have something crazy and fun to look at while I made my first attempts at feeding myself. She is a mix of a woman I worked with at a local restaurant and my Great-Aunt. Both were wild, crazy and would dance around, sing, and tell jokes. They made the kitchen a real fun place to be. I hope when you look at her in your kitchen cooking becomes fun for you too.
