Fun facts

Favorite meal:
I love filled pasta of all kinds, but think that the best part of any meal has to be the dessert, whether it be ice cream (my dream is to make a GIANT baked alaska) or anything bruléed. All topped off with some dessert wine.

A funny story about me:
It will come as no surprise when meeting me that I love to talk. And talk. But this hasn't always been accepted by those in charge of my education and development. My very first report card as a 6 year old had marks assigned for learning to swim. I got the lowest grade, with the comment "Renée would be better at swimming if she stopped talking, and actually started swimming!." Thankfully I learned to do swim in the end.
