Where in the country is Teresa

It's summer and that is travel season in education sales. Last week, I spent the entire week in Kansas City for SkillsUSA. It's an amazing student organization preparing kids for jobs in a skilled workforce and teaching them leadership skills to boot. I love my week there. I help run the customer service national contest. [We have a fan page on Facebook if you are interested.]


I ate my way through that town too. KC is known for their BBQ and the best place is some hole in the wall joint connected to a gas station on the Kansas side called Oklahoma Joe's. My friend Amanda and I ventured over there since one of our chef friends from the Culinary Institute of America [where Amanda is a chef] wanted the rub and BBQ sauce. Did I also mention that I know some of the best chefs in the country and get to call them my friends?? Love that we do CIA cookbooks!


And, Michael's team won their baseball tournament last week!




So now I can finally say what we parents have been wanting to say all season to say....GO COCKS!!
