My letter is…

R

1. What’s a great summer food?

Raspberries. I love, love, love raspberries! Just by themselves, drizzled with cream, dipped in chocolate, in cereal, on ice cream, in a pie, on waffles. Yum, yum, yum!!

2. What item not usually bequeathed in a will, would you like to pass along to someone when you die?

My reading collection… which is kind of a cheating way to say my books.

3. What’s an admirable quality in a book but not in a person?

Revengeful, ruthlessness, relentless, resentful… all good words for a thriller, not so much in a person.

4. What’s a good food to add to other foods?

Raisins, the aforementioned raspberries, red currants, red onions, and a personal favorite… rice.

5. What could make your day better right now?

Rest, relaxation, retreat from the world, reading, and ramen. I love me some ramen, preferably a nice char sui ramen from Fukuya Ramen in Wahiawa.
