My Mother and Father, who have been together for 50 years, love me unconditionally and support all my efforts. My sister with her sharp wit and dazzling smile. My brother who reminds me of a pappa bear his oldest son who is in college and is playing football, his youngest son who faces challenges I can't even imagine!
My Auntie Titta, Aunt Roe and Aunt Net who were vibrant beautiful spunky ladies who each taught me something special and live on in me!
My family is awesome!
My vision is to bring folks together with food and dnace simply and enjoy life. Melange Internationale's logo is a Tibetan symbol, the infinite knot. It symbolizes interconnection. We are all connected. I like that, when we stop looking at our differences, look into one another's eyes and connect, we can begin to see more similarities. It's not a solution, but I think it's a start.
