What’s the last book you’ve read? How did it make you feel? Miss Pererines Home for Peculiar Children. Made me yearn for a simpler time.

What’s the best meal you’ve ever had? What made it special? A meal I had in NYC at a place called “Mission Ceviche.” I was with my dad and sister and that is what made it special.
