Hey Katie
hey girl- Ooh this chat was so good! Love y'all🥰
What a delightful conversation 🤗✨❤️✨
What a fun conversation, two friends chatting rapid-fire. I've watched you two ladies cook for years now. When I was growing up my mom was a terrible cook. And we weren't offered alternatives, not even crackers. She didn't teach us to cook so that we could make something that we liked. Because of this I was terribly underweight my entire childhood. I was always hungry. Food is nourishment, sustenance, a basic need. The body doesn't function properly without fuel. When I had my children I did offer them something else if they didn't like what I had made. It made for balanced moods, better brain function, better sleep.
Hey Giada ! I have been watching your shows ever since I migrated from beautiful Fiji islands n one of my trips to Australia with my husband your husband Tom was sitting right behind us n out off all passengers in flight I was only one who recognized him n he also agreed lol n during conversation he gave us muffins made by you lol that was so nice of him ,he’s a gentleman ,iv been wanting to tell this to you for some time n honestly i still make your muffins etc .
Thank you! Lots of encouragement here to keep active stay healthy.
