In 1989, I was a broken, reckless, twenty-seven-year-old woman chasing shoplifters for a living in downtown Pittsburgh. A move to the The Florida Keys sparked my lifelong affair with food in a rundown diner.

My two working titles are Fresh Fish and Scrambled Love: One Woman’s Unexpected Culinary Adventure, and Hurricanes, Handcuffs, Pepper Spray, and Scrambled Eggs. 

Which title do you like?
