I was knee-deep in learning how to make biscuits with his mom, experimenting with ghee as a replacement for the lard.

Michael had lived in D.C. for more than a decade and was ready for a change from his government job. He accepted a position in San Francisco. We tied the knot and this time, packed up our bags together, and drove across the country with our dog, Snoopy, to our new home. Change begets more change. I realized I was ready to make a big career change myself. So, I quit my lucrative medical research career to pursue my dream of working in food.
