What did you eat today?

In the morning a plain bagel, toasted with cream cheese and a slice of tomato; for lunch I had beef with broccoli in brown sauce; for dinner I had two bistec tacos at La Esquina and a discussion on how many vodka soaked olives it would take to eat before you’d get a little bit tipsy.

What do you never eat?

Beef with broccoli in brown sauce…now. I also had a horrible meal at an Outback steakhouse in Louisville so, never again!

Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:

Baking soda, eggs and bacon, organic milk, and packets of ketchup.

What is your favorite kitchen item?

I own a squeeze handle fresh pepper shaker just like the one he uses on Ming’s Quest.

Where do you eat out most frequently?

I love the bagel shop by my apartment on 5th ave and for a proper meal I’d usually go to Bar Toto on 6th ave and 11th street where they serve excellent paninis and respectable bloody marys.

World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?

If the world were ending I’d probably not have much of an appetite. Imagining a breaking news bulletin that an asteroid the size of India was heading directly for Earth my first words would probably not be, “I tell ya what? I’m starving.” Still, something home cooked would be the best answer or any food with a hint of nostalgia for me.
