If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would it be?

What is your favorite childhood memory?

When I was eight or nine years old, during an ordinary summer evening in India, my family and I watched a mini-tornado form a few blocks from my house. I remember what each of my family members were doing vividly--how my mom was sipping tea on the porch and reading stories to my little sister and I, while I sat on my dad's shoulders. The memory feels like it happened just yesterday and I remember how happy we were as a family. 

How many states have you traveled to in the United States?
