The craziest thing I’ve ever eaten is… cricket flour muffins (made by myself and fed to some very good sports at UNC).
My favorite things to bake are… scones — easy to make, delicious to eat.
Foods I must have in my home are… coffee and dark chocolate.
My favorite food-related smell is… onions cooking in butter — the beginning of many home-cooked dinners in my childhood home.
