Hi! My name is Audrey Rhoads, and I’m going to tell you about my experience in the future chef competition. My recipe chosen to be in the future chef competition is called Tex-Mex Dip, and it is my Nana’s recipe. When we first got to the competition, the head chef gave us a speech about what to do and what not to do in the kitchen. He also told us that we are to rely on our helpers to cut anything for us, to cook over the open flame on the stove, and ask them for help if we need it. My helper’s name was Laura and she is the manager at the high school cafeteria. She and I made my recipe and it turned out so pretty. She also helped me deliver my plates to the judges.

There was a lot going on in the kitchen. Everyone was busy cooking and preparing their recipe for the competition. There were four judges. We had to deliver our plates to the judges and give a speech about it. I told them that this was my Nana’s recipe and that she makes it when we get together with our family. I also told them how to make my dip, and about how we used a lot of healthy ingredients in my recipe.

Each of the eight chefs had to make a speech about their recipe to the judges. We also had to decorate the table. My mom decorated it while I was busy in the kitchen. I had so much fun in this competition and really enjoyed listening and watching everyone make their dishes.

To my Friends, Family, & Community

I would like to extend so much thanks to all that have offered condolences, sent cards, flowers, messages, calls, and hugs during this time of tremendous loss of my Mom, Jeanine. It has been a very difficult time for me and without the support of this wonderful community I’m not sure how I would have handled things. I would like to say a special thanks to Ronnie Ragusin, Sylvia Ragusin, Linda Tippit, Brianne Key, Brenda Lovett, Nick & LeaAnn Ragusin, Sally Ragusin, Deedra Short & family, my cousin Beulah, Ann Pesek, my First National Bank family (especially Dawn & Debbie), Connie Barrientes, Donna Mac, Mickie Vossler, the board of the PO’C Community Center, the PO’C First Bapist Church, the PO’C Service Club, and Brother George Yarbrough. The upmost thanks to Coach Raymond Grant who travelled outside of his wheelhouse to accommodate me and who sang the most beautiful rendition of ‘In the Garden’ these ears have ever heard, it will live on in my heart forever.

I know that Mom is always with me because she placed me in this community. This community she loved, that she always came back to. This community my Papa says ‘She was at her best.’ I don’t want to let her go but I know she wouldn’t have left me if she didn’t think I couldn’t stand on my own 2 feet. I am forever thankful to this community, my friends, family, and my Zachery for being the support I needed when I didn’t think I could stand.

Thank you all so much,
Amber Bricker
