A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE ...


Two years ago, my grandmother suffered a stroke and she get into a vegetative state for a while and then she died. It was quite unexpected because she had been feeling well, even the day before we had celebrated her birthday and she was pretty enthusiastic about it. On the top of that, mi father had been travelling abroad because of his work and there was a problem with the company, which he was working, therefore we lost the communication with him. Consequently, everybody knows that someday he would have to call and we had to prepare for that moment. Finally, my mother talks with him and tries to say it quite carefully. In general, I can say that my grandmother’s dead changed my life in a way. I mean, this unfortunately situation made me stay aware about people who I love you as my relatives because nobody knows what it will happen on the future and at the same time I get a very strong empathic feeling because I was afraid about my father, I don’t know how he can react without people around who can support him.

READERS´S DIGEST.COM: TOP CHEF --- sumary and personal opinion about

Paula Deen is a sixty-two-woman who has achieved success professionally and personally. This funny and personable cook is the owner of two restaurants, two Food Network show, a magazine and eight cook-books included the one, which her two sons participated. Deen has became in a famous character, because of many points as his charismatic personality; the way she are putting in contact with her clients; the familiar environment she has got in his restaurant and the strong relationship between she and his family.
Perhaps, all in her life haven’t been happy events: she was agoraphobic (a kind of pathology, which produces a fear of open places), so Deen has to deal with this illness for many time, but the kitchen becomes in a kind of therapy for her.
Talking about the kind of food, which has became her in a kind of celebrity; it comes from a great tradition in his family, who are from the south of the country. Her grandmother taught her the best food is the simple one. Also she have bee trying to share the tradition with her sons: they have helped in the creation of a book (The Deen Family Cookbook) and the management of a restaurant.
Although there is a lot of popularity around her, she never has changed her personality. Even, she has been involving in the charity: she dropped off twenty-five thousand of proteins in the Savannah area.
The interview has been symptomatic of show a human been, who has really strong principles, although the great shadow of popularity around her can be overpowering. As fast as I’m concerned, in all the interview she shares with us her familiar environment: her interesting relationship with her sons , so that is showing the greatest ties of blood
In addition, one topic in the interview is the Authenticity or originality in the way she current, the type of food she makes and the methodology she use for teaching how to cook. From my point of view, this is the point that makes her attractive to people, who have felt in confidence and comfortable because of that.
