WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords spoke for the first time since she was shot.

C.J. Karamargin, a spokesman for Giffords (D-Ariz.), told CNN on Wednesday that she had asked for toast.

Giffords is in a recovery facility in Houston. She was shot in the head on Jan. 8 as she met with constituents in Tucson, Ariz. Six people were killed.

Giffords is the first Jewish congresswoman elected from Arizona.
