Frank Mirando

If someone were to tell me when I started this blog years ago, that someday I would have a post entitled "Frank Mirando"....I would have thought they were...well, completely insane.  Don't get me wrong, Frankie (as the kids on the block always called him) was a big part of my life growing up, it just is a little unusual to be 27 years old, married, living in Florida, and have an entire post dedicated towards him.  It certainly is random to say the least....but please let me explain!  Frankie is a contestant on Season 3 of MasterChef (on FOX), tonight he makes his first official appearance.  Needless to say this is quite the accomplishment, and he has worked SUPER hard to be where he is at right now!  Two words come to mind when I think about how he relates to my childhood...."Neighborhood Terror".  This seems harsh, but I am about to redeem myself by saying that he obviously grew into an incredibly well accomplished man, an amazingly talented cook, and of course a loving father!  I couldn't be more proud of him!  Check him out tonight on MasterChef at 9:00 on FOX, and watch this clip of his interview on Fox News....way to go Frankie!!!
