It's Amazing How Good Getting Up And

Cooking Has Always Brought Me A Happiness That I Didn't Think Was Available. I Just Fire Up The Stove, And Things Start To Fade Away.

I Really Didn't Have An Interest In Being In The Kitchen Until After I Was Married, When I Was 18. It Didn't Take Me Long To Realize That Mama Was Not Going To Show Up At My House Every Day And Cook.

People See Me On Tv Two And Three Times A Day, And See Me Cooking All These Wonderfully Southern, Fattening Dishes. That's Only 30 Days Out Of 365. And It's For Entertainment.

In My House, The Rose Parade And The Rose Bowl Game Have Always Been A Grand Tradition For Ringing In The New Year. To Serve As Grand Marshal Is A Dream Come True And I Look Forward To Sharing The Celebration With All Of The Fans And Viewers Worldwide.

I Am So Blessed. I've Been Way Over-blessed. At 64 Years Old, I Look Forward To Going To Bed Every Night So I Can Wake Up In The Morning And See What Blessing Is Going To Come My Way That Day. Because You Never, Ever Know What God's Got In Store For You.
