What is currently your favorite restaurant?

My favorite restaurant at the moment is Las Cuatro Milpas in Logan Heights, but it’s not for vegetarians so don’t even try! There’s pork in the salsa!

Do you have a favorite dish from any San Diego restaurant?

The tiramisu at the Arrivederci Pizzeria on Fifth Ave.

What is your favorite lunch spot?

Thai Time in North Park.

How often do you cook at home?

I cook about three to four times a week. I enjoy it, but often the meals are unexciting from lack of time or ingredients – shopping takes time too!

Do you prefer cooking with others or banish all human life from your kitchen?

I enjoy cooking with others as long as the kitchen is big enough – which mine is not.

Name three items that are always in your refrigerator.

In my fridge you can always find hummus, jalapenos and some rotten vegetable that I forgot to cook.

Name three people, living or dead, you’d most like to invite for a dinner party.

Just my Nana; I know it’s sappy but she’s dead, I miss her and we had a major food connection! Does it still count if I have her do the cooking?
