Interview with the heroine from A November Bride by Beth Vogt:
1. Sadie, tell me the most interesting thing about you. I cook – for other people. Families, I mean. I’m a personal chef and I’m all about planning and preparing a week’s worth of delicious meals.
2. What do you do for fun? Read cookbooks. I have an extensive collection – and I don’t loan them out. Sorry.
3. What do you put off doing because you dread it? I’m beginning to sound terribly one-dimensional. I collect recipes. Once a year, I make myself clean out my “virtual” recipe box – all the online recipes that I’ve gathered. There’s no way I’m going to try all of them, so I have to toss them. It’s a painful process.
4. What are you afraid of most in life? Don’t laugh, okay? I avoid the playground in the park across the street from my house. If I’d known the city was going to put one in, I probably wouldn’t have bought my house. Playgrounds . . . well, they’re just not my favorite place.
5. What do you want out of life? Oh, so many things. I want the families I cook for to be pleased with the meals I prepare. That’s my commitment to them. And I want to be safe, you know? I mean, doesn’t everyone want to find a place in their life where they’re known and loved – and safe?
6. What is the most important thing to you? Loyalty. I’m a reliable person and it’s important to me to know that someone I care about is trustworthy too.
7. Do you read? If so, what is your favorite type of book to read? I’ve already answered this: cookbooks. But I also like cozy mysteries. I try to figure them out before I get to the end.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My eyesight. I’ve had eye problems since I was born.
9. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and why that pet? No pets – but I love otters! I read online about a zoo in Japan where you can hold hands with an otter. Wouldn’t that be fun?
10. If you could travel back in time, where would you go and why? Such a challenging question. I guess . . . I’d like to go back to my elementary school years and figure out how to be a little braver. To like who I was back then . . . and not worry so much what the other kids thought.
