All of Durham is really quirky.

People from Raleigh and Chapel Hill kind of like to talk dirt about Durham.

We're like, we're just different, y'all.

All right, well let's get on breakfast.

Oh, what's in the laundry Courtney?

AJ's stuff is in the laundry.

You need to talk to him.

I should have Erica make us some coffee.

My grandma, she loves the fact that we were home schooled.

My grandchildren, they're just-- they were allowed to be free.

[singing] I it.

I want it.

I stunt, yellow-bone it.

[singing together] I I dream it.

I work hard.

I grind till I own it.

OK, I think we're getting low on salt.

When I was little, it was actress for a couple of years till I was about probably eight, and then after that it was marine biologist all through high school, and then I thought about it.

I was like, I can't swim very well.

I can do the froggy paddle like this.

So it's enough to not be afraid or anything, but it's not enough to be like, OK, let's go really, really far out.

[singing] I slay.

I slay.

People are like, you need to have a plan.

I was like, I have a plan.

I don't know if it'll work.

Technically I have a plan, but it's better to-- I realized I just kind of-- if you just kind of go with your gut on things, it will happen eventually.

Not always immediately, but it will happen eventually.

So, yeah.

[music playing] I hated baking at first.

There's not a lot of room for error.

What do you guys want to listen to?

[music playing] Yeah, you know this song?

It's Romanian.

I remember when-- so we were living in Romania when it became popular.

Oh Lord!

There!

So we're like, oh, hopping around to this, and then we moved back home, and everybody's like, my a-- we're like, what the?

What is going on?

[laughter] We moved to Eastern Europe when I was 14, and so we had to cook a lot.

If I wanted anything that reminded me of home, I had to cook it, and so I started learning how to love to cook.

I remember my mom and I actually started baking pound cakes, and pies, and things, some of the family recipes that we had, to sell.

And so when we did that, kind of make a little extra money on the side.

Got more and more into baking.

[music playing] Every step, every process-- we baked it at this temperature.

What was the humidity outside?

How long did it rest?

How long was it in the cold room?

How long did it sit out?

How much shaping did it get?

Did it get too tense?

You go backwards from there-- every little thing.

I'm not the most disciplined person, but it was kind of an accident.

I just really started falling in love with it.

If I do have kids, I might home school them.

I don't want them to be socially awkward, though.

It's a stereotype, and it is kind of true.

Luckily, my parents worked hard against that.

I mean, I'm still weird, but I can converse with people, which is a good thing.

Ears in.

Middle down.

Like that, and then it should be good?

Most people have to go maybe to New York, California.

You usually have to go somewhere where somebody who's well known and who's been at this for years, you usually have to go through actually more hoops to learn what I'm learning in my hometown, which is awesome.

I haven't looked ahead much further than that, but I just want to be a part of some sort of cooperative based food business here in my community that can help people get paid well for their work, and to be valued, and have a stake in it.
