MEET MY CLASSMATES, 17 QUESTIONS... CHRISTINE

I've been attending school since January during which time I've gotten to know my classmates but since beginning to write about school in April, you haven't gotten the same opportunity. It's long since time that you were introduced to a great bunch of people. This occasional feature, 17 Questions, will give you an idea of who they are, their culinary likes and dislikes and why they decided to go to FCI in the first place.

Christine can be soft-spoken but she's not shy about working in the kitchen. Christine, Meg and I were all on the same station when we first began attending FCI back in January so it's cool that we're all in one group now as school comes to an end.
