President’s Letter Dear Friends, If you haven’t seen Beyonce’s Netflix special, “Homecoming,” please put down your League Link and watch it immediately….I’ll wait. Just kidding – please finish reading THEN cancel all your plans and settle down on your couch for an unforgettable experience. I first watched “Homecoming” months ago and have thought about it every week since. The special was remarkable in many ways. It was a record-setting performance at Coachella so much so that the music festival became known as Beychella. The show was a visual feast – incredible dancers, the most talented musicians and stunning costumes – all fronted by the hardest working woman in show business. It was also an important celebration of the oftenoverlooked significance Historically Black Colleges And Universities, or HBCUs, have on our country’s history. The entire special was two hours and accomplished so much with the little time it took to watch. What I keep thinking about, though, was the behind-the-scenes look we had into the grueling and overwhelming amount of work it took to pull off the show. Beyonce, who recently had twins, worked her body to get in shape for everything the performance required. She juggled the commitments of being a wife, a mom of three and a businesswoman. We rarely get to see all the work it takes to pull off something spectacular, something life-changing. Yet, hard work and sacrifice for the greater good is something we all know very well. As we rally around the theme of homecoming in this issue of the League Link, I’m reminded of the personal sacrifices each member makes to honor her commitment to the League. Each of you has priorities competing for your valuable time and attention. You want to be good partners, supportive mothers, trusted friends and diligent colleagues. And that can be exhausting. On top of that, you dedicate what little extra time you have to building a better Oklahoma City through the Junior League. You do all the behind-the-scenes work it takes to pull off the events, projects and initiatives we commit to year-after-year. I see all of it, and I thank you for your dedication. The League Link is a celebration of that commitment and a celebration of the achievements and milestones we experience along the way. Who run the world? Girls! Welcome home!

Molly Ringwald at Speaker in the City
t
BY STEPHANIE HINTON
he 2019 Speaker in the City Committee brought Oklahoma City a conversation with Molly Ringwald. The star of the big screen was a teen icon through the 1980’s mostly due to her work in John Hughes’ films The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles. More recently, Ringwald released the jazz album Except Sometimes, two books - “Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick” and “When it Happens to You: A Novel in Stories” and can be seen in the TV show Riverdale. With the JLOC leadership and planning of chair Angie Huffaker, sustaining advisor
chair Sarah Frank, and the Speaker in the City committee the event brought this JLOC program to the community at large with over 500 tickets sold, making this year the most profitable Speaker in the City to date. This fundraising event allows the JLOC to support our community partners and volunteer placements throughout Oklahoma City. Huffaker shared that meeting Ringwald was amazing but her favorite moments this year happened behind the scenes. “Working with this amazing committee to see our vision and hard work come true… then, toasting and celebrating our job well done when the day was over,” Huffaker said. Speaker in the City was held at the Oklahoma
City Farmers Market on March 24, 2019. Before the event attendees enjoyed a Cocktails & Conversation time where they could enjoy a drink and snacks, participate in the raffle, strike a pose at the photobooth, or purchase a JLOC cookbook. VIP members enjoyed select seating, a VIP bag, and enjoyed an after party book signing including a Pretty in Pink specialty cocktail. VIPs also received a copy of Ringwald’s book “When it Happens to You,” a pair of LuLaRoe leggings, a mini bottle of Ruffino Prosecco, Crunchi bronzer, a cookie from Cookie Princess, $5 Couture Collective gift certificate, a free bagel at Old School Bagel Cafe, $50 off a full set of lashes, a scarf from Spontaneity Kids, a mini bottle from

Prairie Wolf, notebook and purse hook from OU Medicine, Arbonne detox tea, and Bedre chocolates. The event began with Frank and Huffaker welcoming the attendees to the event and introducing JLOC President Pam Campbell. In her introduction of the League, its purpose, and its place in the larger community, she reminded us that while there is still inequality for women in society there is a place for a women’s organization that is focused on developing women leaders and volunteers. JLOC partnered with OU Medicine for the event. Jennifer Schultz, senior vice president of marketing with OU Medicine spoke to the crowd about the importance of health and remembering that our health encompasses more than just our physical well-being. She then introduced Kelli Hayward Walsh, who works with OU Medicine and is a member of JLOC, to interview Ringwald. Ringwald was everything a fan would hope she would be. She discussed her life, the impact of her career as a young woman on herself and the culture, motherhood, and aging. She made us laugh and think critically about life. The conversation began by discussing the role of the 1980’s on the culture and how they
changed movies. Ringwald discussed that she has love/hate relationship with the movies she starred in, stating “our feelings about women and how they are treated have changed… overall they are special movies, they had a young female protagonist — people weren’t doing that then and they still aren’t doing that.” She pointed out that the best thing the movies provided was a voice given to young people, movies that teenagers could relate to. “A lot of the issues [kids] are dealing with happen younger; we used to think about bullying… and all of those messages that women get, that they are not good enough, or that they should look a certain way, that they don’t fit in, that used to only be in high school or middle school but now it’s getting younger and younger. Pretty in Pink... is a good movie that talks about being confident and to be true to who you are and it’s okay to be a little different too… you can be your own person.” The ultimate message she says, “is that teens have a voice, that your voice matters and also that we are different but we are all the same…” The conversation turned to her feelings about aging, reminding us that we still very much live in a youth obsessed culture; however, aging she believes is something that should be celebrated. After turning 40, she
wrote two books, recorded a jazz album and went on tour. “I just did all of this stuff that I had never gave myself permission to do … this is my life, this is what I have done so far, if I’m going to do what I want to do I need to get this show on the road… then you get to 50, that number seems so daunting… and [my friend] talked to me about celebrating every birthday because he had lost so many friends to AIDs… it was like a light went off in my head that of course I should be celebrating my life.” When asked “how do you find time to do it all?” Ringwall replied, “I can’t do it all, not at the same time… I wouldn’t be able to do all that I do without my partner, my husband… we just try to support each other, we know what is important.” Her advice resonated with many women who feel the pressure of careers, caring for children, caring for ageing parents, and the many other hats we wear daily. In the end, Ringwald doesn’t regret anything. Asserting that she is “a person that believes that everything happens for a reason.” When asked if Ringwald could make a 20 second phone call to herself at any point in her life, she confidently stated she would tell her teenage self that everything would be okay.

Legacy & Legends Celebration By Stephanie Hinton
T
he Annual Legacy & Legends celebration was held on March 7 at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. JLOC members from all stages came together to celebrate the outstanding women of the League. It was a full house with over 260 tickets sold for the event. The Legacy & Legends Committee, led by active member Whitney Tatum and sustainer Shelly Soliz, created an atmosphere of camaraderie and remembrance for members to reflect on the history of the League and look forward to the future. The evening began with recognizing nominated Active of the Year Members and celebrating the honoree. Active of the Year Award was newly created to recognize “women who excel in an In-League Placement, Fundraising, Community Placement or as an outstanding volunteer.” The nominees and recipient demonstrate a commitment to the League, above and beyond the call of duty, actively applies Junior League training, skills, and leadership to service, exhibits qualities, skills and leadership that has made a difference within her assigned placement, and is in good standing. Finalists for Active of the Year (one

to four years) included Leslie Crissup Sunnarvik, Kajal Jassemnejad, Audra Kedy, Ashley Rivers and Shayna Sims with Ashley Rivers receiving the final selection. Ashley Rivers transferred to JLOC from the Junior League of Boston and has served the Oklahoma City community for the past three years, currently as the Project Manager for Kids in the Kitchen/Top Chef. Ashley is known for her leadership abilities and eagerness to humbly step into leadership roles, as well as being a constant encouragement to fellow Leaguers. Hillary Ashton, Blair Bradley, Katherine Chandler, Jenna North and Samara Terrill were selected as finalists for Active of the Year (five-plus years) with Katherine Chandler receiving the ultimate recognition. Katherine Chandler has served in a variety of roles in JLOC throughout her six years of membership. A passionate runner herself, serving as the Project Manager for Kids on Track at the Boys & Girls Club brings forth her favorite memories. Katherine’s favorite thing about being in the League is watching other women succeed and empower one another. Next, Leaguers celebrated the Sustaining recipients of the Mary Baker Rumsey
Award, Sustainer of the Year Award, and President’s Spirit of Commitment Award. The Mary Baker Rumsey Award, named for the founder and first JLOC president, recognized Myrla Pierson for her lifetime commitment to the community and volunteerism. Pierson was introduced by friend and fellow League member Gayle Semtner. Pierson shared with attendees the impact that JLOC has had on her life, stating “Junior League is a great place to learn and to serve. The Junior League changed my life in significant ways… I learned that if you’ll surround yourself with incredible people, you will achieve great things!” To honor Pierson legacy to the League a $1,000 donation was made to the Girls Scouts Western Oklahoma capital campaign “Camp the City” which will bring a STEM-focused camp for girls to Oklahoma City. The Sustainer of the Year Award recognized sustaining member Betsy Mantor, introduced by Christy Coyle. This award is reserved for sustaining members who have made an impact in the past three years to the community through League service, applying her JLOC training and leadership skills. Mantor’s words of wisdom
LEGACY AND LEGENDS It is an exciting year for Legacy and Legends event as we celebrate 92 years of JLOC. With so many inspiring, passionate and driven involved in our League, help us honor the achievements by submitting nominations for the Mary Baker Rumsey Lifetime Achievement,
inspired Provisionals and Actives while reminding sustainers the importance of involvement. “I learned very early on that in the League you are in it together. It is with team effort that truly makes it all happen. I can only accept this honor in the honor of my teams. We weren’t just a team because we worked together, we were a team because we respected, cared for, and listened to one another.” Further Mantor shared that the League has changed since her days of provisional and active membership but reminded Leaguers that the League “is still filled with energetic, intelligent women” who are committed to and making a difference in our community. In honor of Mantor a $1,000 donation was made to the OKC Literacy Coalition in her name. Mantor is board member of the organization which is passionate about creating a fully literate community throughout OKC. Kay Oliver was recognized with the Presidential Award which is bestowed upon members who symbolize the spirit of JLOC through a lifetime commitment to volunteerism in the community. Oliver was introduced by friends Janet Daugherty and Jill Greene. Oliver shared with JLOC members words that best described her

time with the League. A member since 1972, she spoke about the friendships that she created and continued, the education she received about the community and leadership, the opportunities that new placements offered throughout the city, and the relationships that she has been privileged to have sustained. In Oliver’s name, a $1,000 donation was made to the Mercy Breast Center - Coletta. Oliver previously fundraised for the Mercy Health Foundation and still is an advocate for health and women in our community. The 2019 Legacy & Legends event was a night to remember for all JLOC members. As we reflect on the evening and the future of the League, it’s important to remember and honor the women that have paved the way for the League through their commitment to service and volunteerism to not only JLOC but the larger community. Everyday, every year, JLOC members are changing and molding the future of our community, you do not need to look far to see the mark of our organization on this city. This is only possible because of the Ashley Rivers, Katherine Chandlers, Myrla Piersons, Betsy Mantors and Kay Olivers of the League.

Sustainer Spotlight:
Patty Anthony
Patty Anthony Retires as Redbud Classic Director
f
BY LESLIE BUFORD, LEAGUE LINK SUSTAINING EDITOR
or Patty Anthony, building a better Oklahoma City extends beyond the Junior League and into the great outdoors. After fourteen years serving as director of the Redbud Classic, one of the metro’s oldest and largest road races, Anthony hung up her shoelaces following this year’s event in April. She credits her experience in the Junior League as a catalyst for her career with this popular springtime run.
12 FALL 2019
“The League helped me get the position as the Redbud Director. In my interview, I was able to tout my JLOC experience and ability to manage volunteers. My time as the President of the Junior League led me to know how to manage a board, and I learned fundraising through Mistletoe Market. However, the community placements were always my favorite. They were very fulfilling,” Anthony said. Her experience helped her tremendously as she stepped into the race director position.
Although Patty had previously served on the Redbud Classic board, she was not a runner and learning the technical aspects of putting on the race requires on-the-job training, especially since the previous race director was not in attendance during Patty’s first Redbud race. “Luckily, I learned how to manage people and solve problems on the fly through Junior League. Every year is different. My thirteenth race may have been jinxed: we had a literal dumpster fire at the starting area of the race, our bike event was canceled due to sleet, and a truck hauling port-a-potties hit scaffolding at the finish,” Anthony recalled. Leading the Redbud Classic proved extremely rewarding for Anthony. During her time as the race director, the race has grown from approximately 40 sponsors to over 85. She credits taking the time to build and cultivate relationships as the reason why over 85 percent of the sponsors return to the race annually. More importantly, the race serves a higher purpose in the community by raising between $160,000 to $200,000 annually. Proceeds from
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: KIDS ON TRACK By Ileanna Wright
With the partnership of the Boys & Girls club, JLOC is able to teach children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle through Kids of Track. Kids on Track is one of JLOC’s many community placements. Kids on Track focuses
on teaching the children proper running techniques. Every spring and fall, 20 kids participate in the program with an end goal of running in a fun run. Every Monday the children participate in activities that will help
the event are then distributed to a non-profit serving the community. A different non-profit is selected each year to be the recipient of the funds raised by the Redbud Classic. “Putting on the event is expensive, but what sets Redbud apart from other races is that it is all locally operated. We are proud that there is not an out of town company running it or taking the profits out of our community. After 37 years, it’s part of the fabric of OKC and touches a lot of people – runners, cyclists, kids, volunteers. More importantly, Redbud is known for its low-key family fun – it has a different vibe than other runs,” said Anthony. What is on the horizon for Patty? For the moment, spending time with her husband, three daughters, and two grandsons are a priority. “My younger grandson was actually born the day after this year’s race!” Anthony said. Her JLOC experience has also served her well as a grandmother: one of her community placements was to teach parenting skills at Mercy hospital. “My daughter asked me how I knew so much about babies, and this placement taught me so much as I was teaching new parents.” Patty also looks forward to continuing to serve the community through volunteering and serving on non-profit boards. “Something will fall into my lap. I know lots of non-profits in OKC and am excited to see what’s next,” exclaimed Anthony. She continues to remain involved in League life and regularly gets together with the women she served alongside with on the executive board. “Our executive committee
them achieve this goal. Activities range from running laps to playing freeze tag. Those involved with Kids on Track want to make it a fun experience for the children. In addition to learning proper running techniques the children are also gifted with new running shoes each December and May. With help from Red Coyote, JLOC is able to purchase new running shoes for each child that participates in Kids on Track. This spring the children that participate in Kids on Track completed the OKC Memorial Marathon’s Children’s Fun Run.
still meets quarterly – and we used to meet on Mondays whether they had anything to discuss or not. “We went through life together, had kids together, dealt with a lot together so continuing to remain in touch has been a gift,” Anthony said. Mentoring the next generation of League leaders has also been a priority for Anthony. She served as the Sustaining Advisor for Kristin Brown’s board and continues to keep in touch with the women of that board. “The League is full of intelligent, amazing women who give of their time and exposes you to things you’d never be exposed to without involvement. Seeing such great women involved gives me hope,” claims Anthony. Leaving the Redbud Classic in good hands was also a priority for Anthony, and she was thrilled to pass the baton to a fellow former Junior League President, Sara Sweet, in June 2019. Anthony and Sweet spent the past year working together on behalf of the Redbud Classic, and each woman credits their relationship for a smooth handoff of duties. “The race director job can be a solitary position as the only full-time employee that is managing a board. I really enjoyed having Sara there this year to run ideas by as she prepped for the role. It was a nice year and way to go out. I enjoyed the transition, helping to make sure all details were covered in hand-off, and I know that new ideas can continue to improve the race,” said Anthony. “Patty was an exceptional mentor and support to me over the last year. She has been an exceptional leader for the Redbud for
This was the 5th year that Kids on Track completed this event. The children and JLOC volunteers met at the Boys and Girls club at 6:30 AM and took a bus to the Memorial. Once they arrived, they checked and received their race bibs and finally it was time to run. After completing the race, the children each received a medal, a certificate, and a backpack with snacks. Before returning to the Boys and Girls club the children walked around the memorial and JLOC volunteers explained to them the purpose of the run and why it was significant.
fourteen years. Patty introduced me to many stakeholders and supporters throughout the year. It was such a pleasure to work with her and learn from her,” Sweet said. Sweet also credits her training through the Junior League as an asset as she takes the helm of the Redbud Classic. “It has been very eye-opening to transition from the board side of a non-profit to the staff side. In the best scenario, the board and management team work together, and that is certainly the case with the Redbud Foundation Board. They are a group of phenomenal professionals who are passionate about Oklahoma City and our quality of life. I’m so happy to be part of the team!” Sweet exclaimed. Continuing to add value to the event and more ways for the community to participate is a priority for Sweet. As a result, the Redbud Classic will introduce a one-mile “Woof Walk” in 2020 so that furry family members can participate in the fun. Both Anthony and Sweet encourage Junior League members to impact the community by participating in the Redbud Classic. “Well, of course, Junior League volunteers are THE BEST volunteers! The Redbud can always use help with course marshals for the cycling event and the run, water stops for the cycling event, help with various tents at the finish line… we never turn down volunteers! I would also love to see League friends participate in the Redbud. Registration will open in October, but you can always find information at www. redbud.org,” said Sweet.

14 FALL 2019
Mayor Holt & Goodnight OKC By Stephanie Hinton
O
ur favorite children’s book has been on tour this past school year. Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt has been visiting schools across the city to read Junior League of Oklahoma City’s children’s book, “Goodnight OKC.” “Goodnight OKC” was written by JLOC volunteers and illustrated by Margaret Hoge and modeled after the best-selling children’s book “Goodnight Moon.” It offers readers the opportunity to look at beautifully illustrated sites across Oklahoma City, from Bricktown to the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum to the Oklahoma State Capitol to our city’s skyline. The idea for the Holt to visit the more than 100 elementary schools within Oklahoma City limits came from his wife and JLOC Active
Rachel Holt and they knew the book had to be “Goodnight OKC.” Reading the book allows him to visit neighborhoods throughout the city, connecting students to City Hall. During the 2018-2019 school year, the Holt visited 13 elementary schools within Oklahoma City Public Schools, Edmond Public Schools, Crooked Oak Public Schools and Western Heights Public Schools. During each visit, he shares and reads the beautiful book with a Kindergarten class. At each stop, the book is gifted to the school library for children to enjoy for years to come. This gift is made possible thanks to a grant from JLOC. Students and schools have prepared for the moment Mayor Holt comes to their school. His favorite moments include receiving the signs and cards children have made for his visit.
Holt wants students to know and remember that local government is a part of their lives. “I want this to be a memorable event in their life. This connects them to the Mayor’s Office,” Mayor Holt shared.

Junior League of Oklahoma City is a proud Pivot community partner. Our Food and Fun project volunteers prepare meals with approximately 12 residents at Pivot’s emergency youth shelter. JLOC volunteers plan the menu and include a fun and educational health-related activity around the menu’s theme. Residents, ages 12-17, who stay at the shelter while in crisis or
16 FALL 2019
experiencing a transition in their living situation are hands-on in the preparation and serving process, eating the meal in a “family style” setting. The goal is to teach cooking fundamentals and the importance of healthy eating to children who are living independently. Because of the work of the Junior League and others in our community, the youth who come to Pivot are provided hope and opportunity through the resources, services and programs Pivot offers to meet them where they are, ensure they are safe, meet their immediate needs, then help them build the stability they so desperately need.
“These outcomes are nothing more than life-changing, true turning points in a young person’s life,” Pivot President and CEO Jennifer Goodrich said.
Pivot’s Tiny Home Community Homelessness and lack of housing stability are significant challenges faced by the youth Pivot serves. In April 2018, Pivot began building a community of tiny homes for the young people they serve. Pivot’s Tiny Home Community will address the lack of safe, transitional living
space for teens and young adults living on their own without parental support, having aged out of Oklahoma’s foster care system or experienced involvement with the child welfare or juvenile justice systems. The first of three tiny homes were finished this summer and celebrated with a tiny housewarming party. Their ultimate vision is a community of 84 homes on Pivot’s campus. These tiny houses will offer a real home for youth primarily between the ages of 16-19 who are living on their own without parental support. “We are thrilled about the progress of this project…. It truly has been a community effort, and we are confident these homes will have a positive impact on teens living independently and who would otherwise be homeless,” Goodrich said. “Youth living in the tiny homes will have access to services Pivot provides as they continue on their path to becoming self-reliant adults with ties to our community.” You can learn about Pivot’s Tiny Home Community and how you can help support at pivotok.org or by visiting their wish list at pivotok.org/current-wish-list.

unior Leaguers have long been known to impact the broader Oklahoma City community through their service within the League and the application of their leadership skills in the community outside of the League. JLOC Sustainer Judge Heather Coyle is an unstoppable force in OKC. Joining the League in 2002, Coyle served the city as an Assistant District Attorney. She believes this gave her a unique experience and perspective. “Not all DAs have the community service experience; as a prosecutor, they aren’t always visible in the community,” Coyle said. Coyle wanted to give back. She loved working with kids and flourished in her placements at the Boys & Girls Club, Infant Crisis Center and Variety Pack, to name a few. Through her work as an Active member, she was allowed to go places she wouldn’t otherwise have a reason
to go and learned about the OKC community through her experiences. Being a volunteer in JLOC led Coyle to have a deeper understanding of her community while also being a constant inspiration to her service. Coyle has always had a strong desire to give back to the community. In many ways, her service to JLOC and her college sorority Chi Omega prepared her for running for office and the work she would do as a judge. She decided to run for office on a snowy day in February 2018. For her, it was the next step in giving back to OKC. She believes all people have the right to a fair trial and in her courtroom, Coyle strives to give each person that opportunity. Because of her volunteer work with JLOC, she knows how to connect people to the resources they need to be successful. While Oklahoma's current record with incarceration rates are concerning, the work
LITTLE LEAGUERS
happening in Coyle's courtroom is person-focused and ensures that needs are met. She takes the time to listen to each person that enters her courtroom. She believes in connecting people to what they need by using alternatives to incarceration. "I want to know why someone might not be meeting their parole, sometimes it's as easy as asking 'have you heard of Infant Crisis Center?' you should go there today," Judge Coyle said. On January 22, 2019, Coyle was sworn in by the Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Norma Gurich. For Coyle, this was a dream come true. "I can't believe I get to do this, and I feel so honored to serve the community in this way," Coyle said. "The League trains you to be a better leader while opening your eyes to the community around you." Coyle is still involved in the League. For League members, she inspires by demonstrating a commitment to a lifetime of public service.

Mistletoe Market Vendor Spotlight:
SARAH BRIGGS JEWELRY How many years have you participated in Mistletoe Market? When I started coming to Mistletoe Market, Caroline Mathis was vendor chair that year. That was at least ten years ago, probably longer. Maybe it's been 12 years! What do you sell? Tell me about your business? We create unique handmade jewelry. People want something high fashion, artistic, but that is also for everyday wear. Our jewelry is for the new woman that is emerging. The woman who is running to Home Depot, changing diapers and being a boss! She needs jewelry that is not cheap but not overly expensive. We are filling that need. Why do you participate in Mistletoe Market? We have built a customer base there. We have built relationships with the Junior League of Oklahoma City. Mistletoe Market was the first Junior League Market we participated in, and nobody treats us as good as JLOC treats us! There is an aspect of Mistletoe Market that has become really special. JLOC always greets us and gives us the best booth spots. They care about the vendors, check on them to make sure they are fed, and provide us with bathroom breaks. And the food is good food! I know I am going to become a patron of the restaurants after Market. Also, because of the sales. This is one of our highest performing markets; we've built a customer base at Mistletoe Market that keeps us coming back. What is your favorite Mistletoe Market memory? I had a baby, and I had never skipped a year of Mistletoe Market. I drove from Dallas with my 8-week-old child; it was just him and me. I thought I was the worst mom ever, bringing an infant to run a booth with me. I drove in for Preview Party night, and three vendors had gifts for me, flowers, clothes for my children. We had created a family among the vendors. There are many shows where vendors don't build relationships, and it
can get competitive. At Market, there is a sense of camaraderie. I've created life-long friendships. What do you look forward to this year? Seeing the regulars. Preview Party night is always a blast! I love the performances, the Christmas feel, getting into the Christmas spirit with Mistletoe Market. Also, I love the shopping.The event planning that goes into Market is impressive. How much JLOC puts in and how much they care shows! JLOC treats vendors well. I'm grateful for all the volunteer work that goes into making this a successful show.

A Cut Above the Zest Getting to know the Chef: Beth Armstrong because they must be delivered fresh as freezing (and overcooking) can ruin the texture and flavor of the mollusk. It can seem intimidating simply based on the price tag, but scallops are actually simple to make! This classic French flavor profile is bright, refreshing, and adaptable to the herbs and wine you have in your kitchen. You will know once you try this recipe at home that the best part of this dish is the balmy fragrance of fresh citrus, garlic and herbs that fills the house as you are cooking! How do you prepare for this meal? When shopping for scallops, go to a trusted grocery store. Scallops should not be frozen as freezing can break down the texture, so you want them to be fresh. You may see “wet” or “dry” options at the seafood counter. Opt for “dry” scallops if they are available. This simply means they have not been soaked to add water weight. These are considered “natural” scallops and will have a slightly darker or vanilla shade to them as opposed to the very white wet scallops. I typically buy 2-3 scallops per guest for a dinner gathering. Use fresh herbs rather than dried and I tend to use a younger garlic clove in this recipe for a spicier garlic taste that can cut through the boldness of the lemon zest and wine. If you were a cooking utensil what would you be? A corkscrew.
H
ow did you learn how to cook/who did you learn from? Like most American families, food was the centerpiece of any gathering—even if that gathering was just my nuclear family at the end of a long school or workday. I learned at an early age how to articulate which flavors and textures I liked—but that was at the dinner table. It wasn’t until I had my own kitchen that I fell in love with cooking. I started my voluntary culinary boot camp with favorite recipes passed down from my mom then moved to reading recipes, combining ingredient lists in my head, watching technique videos, then getting creative on my own. There’s something hugely satisfying about pouring your ideas onto a plate and creating a positive experience out of it. What is your favorite part of this dish? Scallops are an expensive and finicky protein

Do you enjoy the cooking process, or would you rather throw something together that is quick and easy? Cooking as a process is offputting to me, yet I enjoy spending a long time perfecting a meal. Most of my life is quite regimented and formal, so coming into the kitchen, surveying the ingredients at hand, and coming up with something unique is an especially rewarding challenge for me. I don’t mind a dish taking a couple of hours from fire to plating, but I enjoy some creative freedom as the dish comes into being. Is cooking stressful or relaxing for you? When I started out, cooking was extremely stressful. Timing out components of a meal and trying to make sure everything stayed warm until it was time to eat was a lot of hustle! Over time I have become relaxed in the kitchen—so much so that cooking something complex or brand new has a calming effect on me. Maybe in the back of my mind I know that if I royally mess up, there’s always Postmates.
Is there a quote that you can think of that speaks to you about cooking? I think this quote applies to cooking and life. “The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile.” -Julia Child Other than these delicious scallops, what is your favorite dish or food? I love French food— cooking it and enjoying it. I used to have this notion that anything French would be overly-fussy and ostentatious, but I have not found that to be the case. French cooking is all about augmenting the flavor of what you’re cooking. Chicken should taste like chicken and beef like beef. Aside from these scallops, my signature dish is a provincial rack of lamb (see recipe in Western + Grand) with parmesan risotto and something green. How would you describe this meal in 3 words? Bright, balanced and delicate. What type of wine or beverage would you say pairs well with these scallops? The recipe calls for a dry white wine for the sauce. Word to the wise: always cook with a wine you would be willing to drink. The quality of your ingredients makes an impact on the dish you end up with! A few of my favorites for this recipe—which are perfect for pouring into a glass next to the plate—are Honig sauvignon blanc, Rombauer Chardonnay (my personal favorite), or for a more affordable option, look for a crisp Loire Valley (Fr.) Chenin Blanc.
