They call me Mom, Friend, Cynthia and Syndi. I’m a senior and I’m hoping to graduate in May 2017, with my Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in American Studies. Although, I’m thinking about changing my minor to Environmental Studies as I work in the petrochemical field. I’ve enjoyed being a student and have considered continuing on to pursue my Masters Degree, but I’m afraid my family couldn’t handle it. I have two teenagers at home and I’m happy to say, they still like having me around.

This is my third class with Dr. Perez and I’ve been excited to take this class and to learn more about food and culture. I love food and trying new dishes, but I am a little picky. I tend to eat on the healthier side, which can get a little boring so I indulge every now and than especially since I have a sweet spot for breakfast anytime of day. Growing up my mom would make breakfast for dinner and I always felt like it was a treat when she did. My parents divorced when I was 4 so my mom cooked what she wanted and my dad was very traditional with the meals, breakfast was for breakfast.

The picture on my blog is from when my kids made me breakfast in bed for Valentines day. They made me strawberry cake mickey waffles and a fresh strawberry milkshake drizzled with red chocolate and whipped cream. My kids know my weak spot and enjoy breakfast for dinner too.
