For posterity

If you had a chance to move to anywhere in the world. Where would it be?
Top 5 - DC, Philadelphia, Cape Town, Toronto, Paris. Each one provides some draw of a multicultural, international vibrant city that is accessible to friends and family (or so good they'd come visit) with decent weather and seasons. All that and a shack in Maine or the Adirondacks!

Ideal meal fantasy

On a hot night someone surprises you with dinner . It will be served outside at a table overlooking the ocean , what would you want to be served?
Ahhhhhhhhh. I think I'm in Greece. Freshly grilled fish with a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil; tangy tsaztiki; fresh summer tomatoes tossed with olives and creamy chunks of feta, warm, soft pita bread (with char marks), wine...maybe some baklava dripping with honey...more wine. Or in Spain with a cool gazpacho, spicy shrimp, dates wrapped in serrano ham, steak, roasted/grilled potatoes with rosemary, sangria, a bite of chocolate, a sip of port.
