I have an uncommon life. I learned to make fried chicken in Compton, almost died in Morocco, taught a gang member to drive a stick at 5 am in a mall parking lot, and I have an above-average ability to fold fitted sheets. But how does a farm girl with a Masters in Psychology and failed stints in everything from door-to-door vacuum sales to runway modeling become an award-winning beer & food writer/photographer? Well, clearly I was running out of options. – Jackie Dodd Mallory
