Debbie Johnson Quotations

The other night we had persimmon pudding with infused candy cap cream on the top. I've also used candy caps in rolled pork tenderloin. Boy, are they good with pork and a little fruit.

I wish we could get out of there.

Some of the boys there are getting paid to help with clean-up efforts, ... Anthony (the older son) doesn't want to leave, but James is supposed to start his senior year of high school, so we want to get everyone together and get them up here.

Bob was in a hospital in Fairhope, Alabama, ... A few days after he went through triage for his arms, he got an infection. The dirty water got into an open cut and it's a really bad infection. He's being treated with antibiotics through an IV.

We knew coming in we'd be outmatched, and we were maybe even a little more so than we thought. They're very athletic, very quick, and they put our top player out with five fouls, and that really hurt us.

Our temperatures are mild, the wet season is long, and when it's wet here, it's really wet!

The people in Alabama have been wonderful to Bob, ... They've brought him clothes and Pastor Adams has visited Bob in the hospital.

A social worker said she was working on an angel flight for them, ... (Angel flights) have been used for medical transports, like for kids who need medical treatment and are too far away from it ... The other options we were looking at, like driving or on a bus, Bob would've chanced getting another infection, and he can't afford (one).

We have a good mix of returning swimmers and kids who are new to the sport and never really swam competitively. Right now they're out here every day giving it their all and improving every time they get in the pool.

We wanted to hire somebody with a quality background to take the standard of our cuisine to the next level - and I knew the perfect person.
