Home Economics

I finally decided on my major. I start classes at Palomar 1/19/10 and my Associate's will be in Family and Consumer Sciences. I will then transfer to SDSU to finish my Bachelor's in Home Economics. The career ideas I have range from working in a restaurant, hotel, resort, etc. doing menu planning and testing; working in a bakery doing wedding cake design; getting a gig developing recipes for cookbooks, online sites, cooking shows, etc.; recipe testing in a lab like General Mills or any other food company. Who knows? Maybe one day I can have my own print or online food column and the ultimate would be to get a cooking show! (In my dreams, but hey, you never know!)

MommyTime Tip: Roast turkeys (chickens too!) breast side down so the white meat never gets dry. Start roasting for 30 minutes at 450 degrees (to lock in all the juices and crisp the skin), then drop the temp down to 325 degrees.
