"I would have Michael Jordan over for dinner because I have always dreamed of meeting him and talking about basketball together. I would prepare a fresh salad, steaks made on the grill, and fruit salad. I would serve gelato for dessert!"

I really would've enjoyed sharing dinner with Hedy Lamarr. Not only was she a great actress back in the day, but Hedy was also instrumental in coming up with the wireless "frequency hopping" technology that is to this day used in wireless and GPS communications. Being that Hedy is from Vienna, I would prepare a venison schnitzel with braised seasonal vegetables, a good bottle of cabernet, and Viennese crepes for dessert.

I would prepare and share a dinner with my parents because I rarely see them, especially due to this pandemic. The last time they visited, I made lobster bisque along with other dishes, however, the lobster bisque did not turn out right. This time around, I would create the same dish because I've been waiting to recreate and better the dish with the new cooking skills I've acquired during the time they're gone.
