<p>I am a busy mom of a 17-year-old college bound daughter and wife of a wonderful native Californian. (I myself hail from neighboring Arizona.). As a psychologist, I spend a lot of time inside people's heads, and there is nothing more soothing than to come home and begin chopping vegetables, warming olive oil, and doing things that are tangible, earthy, and will ultimately produce immediate gratification for those I love.</p>
