My mom makes a chicken casserole that's really good, and I like it. I like going to Osaka and ordering steak (teriyaki).
If you could meet any person dead or alive who would it be, and why?
I'd like to meet Jesus. I'd ask Him, "How is it being perfect?" And I'd ask how it felt to get on the cross and get killed for us.
