Pam had an extraordinary talent in the kitchen. Her culinary creations were a feast for the senses, and she delighted in exploring the vast world of flavors and ingredients. She had a special place in her heart for local farmers, cherishing their hard work and using their produce to create unforgettable meals.

When Pam designed the house, we had built, she had 25 feet of counters and made them 30 inch deep; 6 inches wider than the standard counters.

Pam was very excited when Athens got it’s first Farmers Market. Even though it was a 35 mile round trip journey she loved the fresh, local produce, and the farmers who grew them. She would spend almost the whole day shopping, buying, talking, washing and wrapping her produce and was happy about doing it – she rarely missed a Saturday.

We didn’t have a much money in 1985 when we moved into our house so, we made do with the old cheap cookware we had. Over time Pam replaced all our cookware to top quality pieces that would last for several generations. She loved cooking in her cast iron, Le Creuset and Calphalon cookware and was very protective of them.

In 2015 we were able to total redo our kitchen and give Pam her dream kitchen. All new cabinets with pull out shelves and easy close doors. A new granite countertop and new appliances.

Now that I’m retired, cooking is a creative activity that I enjoy. It also keeps close to the memory of Pam – I can hear her over my shoulder questioning or a approving some spice or technique.
