THIS / OR / THAT

Spontaneous / Planned

Optimist / Pessimist

Butter / Parmesan cheese

Stove top/ Microwave

Sometimes both is the right answer. I eat more Jolly Time microwave popcorn, but some of my favorite memories growing up are of my father popping popcorn on the stove in a large iron skillet. Still makes me smile.

Talk / Listen

You can learn way more, and honestly, I'm a little shy. 

Coffee / Tea

Research / Wing it

We spend a lot of time and effort to understand our consumers; wants and needs.

I like to do everything I can to support the local community.
