That got me hooked. I found I had so many ideas. It's kinda addictive when you win something.

I pretty much taught myself how to cook. My mother was a great cook, but she was a '50s cook.

That contest was a real challenge. I don't really cook with convenience products.

I was kind of a frustrated cook. Being at home with the kids I wasn't working so I thought what if I enter a contest and win $50,000? Wouldn't that be cool. So I just tried it.

I have a great vision of what can happen here. I have a lot of good ideas, and I just hope I get a chance to make it all happen.

Most of our ideas, at some point along the spectrum, will fail. So we're always trying to innovate the way we do what we do: to do the best science possible - because that's non-negotiable - but to do it better, faster and more cost-effectively. So innovation is built into every single thing the discovery scientists do.
