What is currently your favorite restaurant?

Pretty much any fast food place.

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

Right now, I guess it would have to be any kind of meat because I am doing the low-carb thing. Steak or chicken.

What is your favorite lunch spot?

Actually, I rarely eat lunch.

How often do you cook at home?

Hardly ever.

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

Actually, I need somebody there who can help.

Name three items that are always in your refrigerator.

Diet Coke, ice and fresh deli meat.

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

Aside from my close friends that I would always want there, only two come to mind: My grandfather on my dad’s side, who I never really got to know – I was a kid when he passed away – and my real mom who I haven’t seen since I was five, just to see how her life turned out.
