I remember at the farm I would make a whole leg of lamb. I did all kinds of hors devours. I would make my deviled eggs, three types of wings, just as a precursor. I would have wine and various liquors available. I loved entertaining. I loved making people smile with my cooking.

So much has changed in my life. It all started with me losing a job I had for 20 years. I was able to work remotely and had an apartment where I could cook whatever I wanted. Unfortunately, all things come to an end. I lost the job. I moved to New Hampshire.

I miss doing the Jewelry shows. I still have my site on Facebook, Sparkle with Lady Emma. I do continue to post but not as frequent. I used to do food demonstrations too. I had my rep, Joe Furtado with Pampered Chef and Maureen Morisi with Epicurean. I loved Epicurean. I still have some of the packets for making Alfredo sauce and a few others. I don’t get to do that anymore. I did order some more Greek seasoning so I can make my lamb gyros. I also have some Souvlaki seasoning to use on chicken tenders. Roll either of those up in a burrito roll with Tzatziki and perfect!

Life has changed so much for me. I just keep pushing forward. That is all you can do. I miss modeling and doing the Fashion Shows. I haven’t gone in years. It used to be exciting. Now I just try to get by day by day.
