Getting more Oregon foods into Oregon schools. What are some things that other people might not know about you?I love to drive fast on the high dessert, I would love to spend one month a year in silent meditation, and I am more sensitive then I let on to. What's the oddest meal you've ever had?Chicken feet in Boston’s Chinatown in 1986.When did you know you were a writer?Possibly when I was born with the name Schreiber, which means “writer” in German.

Peach Tarte Tatin with Basil Ice Cream What's your most unusual kitchen tool?Fishing pliers to remove the pits from cherries Any memorable kitchen disasters?During a home economics class in high school we were making waffles and my foot tripped the wire and the waffle machine hit the ground with batter spilling everywhere. My friends thought it was funny because I went on pretending it never happened, much like later years in professional kitchens where I had no choice. This was an early sign of a chef.
