Do you cook?
Sometimes. It depends on my mood and if I feel like devoting the time to it.

What is your favorite meal to cook?
I enjoy making Thanksgiving sides like dressing, layered pea salad, cream cheese & corn, deviled eggs.

What food do you absolutely hate?
I am NOT a picky eater. That being said, I don’t like goat cheese AT ALL. There’s something about the smell of it that repulses me. Beets and hominy run a close 2nd & 3rd.

What is your favorite dessert?
Bread pudding, but it has to be done right. Rainbow Lodge has the best I’ve ever had.

What food have you never eaten, but wish you could try?
I’ve tried a lot of different foods. Maybe Russian cuisine?

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you order?
Hard choice. This answer will definitely change. Right now, my favorite Houston restaurant is Branch Water Tavern. The chicken fried oysters are amazing! I also love their fresh vegetable selections, particularly Brussels sprouts, and their seafood dishes.

You’re on death row, what’s your last meal?
Nopalitas salad, chips & guacamole made fresh right in front of me like they do at Escalantes in Highland Village, a soft Spanish cheese with bread and olive oil and aoili for dip, garlic stuffed olives, about 3 dozen oysters on the half shell, lobster, bread pudding, red wine.
