  3. I’d say we’re quite similar. I’m not a cat person, I don’t like cheese, can’t do ballet and I’d LOVE to get carded; otherwise my list could look very similar. Now I’m craving a chocolate croissant!

  6. Developing photos in a darkroom – you’re gonna think I’m crazy but I love the smell and ambiance. Sweet potato fries are the best! Garlic Naan – never tried it but my husband makes Naan (it’s waaay better than any Naan I’ve ever tasted) so next time he makes it, I’ll ask him to add in some garlic.
