Cooking with Katie, Inc. just purchased
a 31 foot Fleetwood Jamboree GT recreational vehicle (RV)
also known as the Mo-Ho (Motor Home). Katie and the gang are
hitting the road to spread the word about middle school students
learning how to cook. In addition to being a culinary instructor,
Katie is also the official driver of the RV. Driving a large
RV gives you a new perspective on the road, i.e., low branches,
12 foot high bridges, and roads that cannot be traveled, including
Storrow Drive. Keep your eye out for the MA license plate
CKGWKT!!!
Katie is the proud owner of a Fleetwood 31 foot RV!
The hope is to load the RV with her three English
bulldogs and travel across the USA filming her TV show that
will educate tweens about where food comes from and then teach
them how to cook with it!
The Passing of "The
Queen"
It is with great sadness that I share the news that my
beloved Dudley passed away in April. She was my first dog
and she taught me many life lessons. She was almost 8 years
old. She is and always will be missed.
New Member of the Family
It is with great joy that I share with you the news of a new
addition to our family. His name is Dozer and he is an 8-month-old
bulldog puppy. He is such a cutie and a sweetheart! He has
made the adjustment into his new life very well. Putty and
Atticus have accepted him and both play with him. They have
showed him the ropes including licking dishes in the dishwasher
and going up and down the stairs.
