In this picture, my aunt Laurie (center) is shown in the kitchen in the early 1980's. Like me, my aunt is an entrepreneur and she gave me my first example of a successful business owner. She is a seamstress, hair dresser, nanny and she sells hand-made accessories and clothing. Call her a "Jill of all trades," but her work ethic and ability to create have always inspired me. My favorite dish that she makes is Russian Tea. This is a treat for my family each Christmas - a blend of slowly steeped black tea sweetened and spiced to perfection with pineapple and orange juices, cinnamon and cloves. This was one of the first homemade beverages I learned to make outside of fresh squeezed lemonade and powder-based punches.
