I don't know what her previous 3 lives were, currently she describes herself as a peasant doing organic gardening in Chile.
In her fourth life, Vivian wins a copy of Seasonal Spanish Food by Jose Pizarro, our latest contest.
She is currently in Texas for a wedding.
As she was looking up information abour Merida on the web, she saw our contest and since she knew the answers decided to take a chance.
She was fluent in our questions topic because she took a Cooking class in the Basque Country in Spain, and learned all the quesos "denominación de origen" during what was then her second life.
She is a fan of cooking and food blogs.
Congrats to Vivian!
We're not sure yet what the next challenge and prize will be, keep your eyes open.
