I love listening to Sara and Jami. This was the very first time I have ever experienced listening to a podcast. I’m finally coming into the 21st century and will get to learn something. I met Jami at Kirby’s in Kaufman and felt like I was meeting a celebrity and her family. What a treat for me and what great information for me. Jami has agreed to give me the information I need to publish the cookbook I have been writing for my family. I couldn’t be more excited. Thanks Jami. Best to you.
