TMI - Now I'm hungry....

Dinner Time!

You are having dinner at the best restaurant you can imagine. Do not concern yourself with over-eating, or other restrictions. We want to know what you like best. What will you have for:

1. Before dinner wine, aperitif, or cocktail?

• I'm not a drinker so I usually start with the house water, and I know that if I have to say "Just tap" that my dinner is going to cost too much.  

2: Appetizer

• This is where I get adventurous.  I can try almost anything that comes on a small plate and there are only two of them.  In a group setting I like getting 1 appetizer per person and sharing them family style, but don't you dare to 2nds before I get at least one Spring Roll. 

3. Soup?

• Corn Chowder, Clam Chowder, a really good chicken noodle, spicy tortilla strip soup, or even a miso soup if the tofu isn't too big.

4. Salad?

• Yes!  Next question?  I'm on a diet kick these days so I've eaten more lettuce than the local bunny farm, but they are good.  My base salad has all/some/most/none of the following, depending on where we are in our shopping cycle:  Lettuce (any kind), tomato (always), carrots, raisins, apples chunks, avocado, croutons, onions, cucumbers, never peppers, never ever olives (ech), and I love putting meat on the top, almost any kind, and dressing?  I'm very simple, 1000 Island, BBQ, or Honey Mustard to start.

5. Wine or other beverage with dinner?

• If dinner is on the lighter/funner side, I may go with a bottled (not tap) Root Beer, but paying $3.50 for a soda isn't any fun. My favorite faux-cocktail is orange juice/cranberry/pineapple, and I only drink lemonade if it's actually made from lemons, and PEOPLE!  Lemons are not pink.  Case closed.

6. Entree?

• Comfort food?  Pot Roast, mashed potatoes, green peas, fresh salad, hot bread, and gravy, with chocolate layer cake for desert.
• If calories really don't count, fresh seafood, shrimp,crab cakes, lobster in any variation...
• And if money is no object, SUSHI!!!  I love it, but it gets expensive really fast.

7. Side Dishes?

• Depends on the entree.  Again, I can get more adventurous here.  I'm not big on strange vegetables, and yes, broccoli and boiled spinach (so so so nasty) are strange.  I like pasta sides, interesting fruit, cool salads, new breads, etc.

8. Dessert?

• Pretty much anything that has a touch of chocolate, no coconut or meringue, I like baked goods, ice cream, cheesecake, freshly baked cookies, a freshly washed vagina served on silk sheets, or popcorn and M&Ms while making out on the couch.

9. After dinner drink?

• Water to replace the sex that followed the desert.

10. Which 3 people would you invite to dinner: (must be famous, well-known, living or dead, not fictional)
- For sex appeal

• Can I just list my favorite bloggers?
  
• Brooklyn Decker, Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde,   
  Charlize Theron, Penélope Cruz, do i have to invite guys?  Then...I really don't mind eating alone.  But, if you forced me...Ryan Gosling, Captain America (my future son-in-law according to my daughter), and Robert Downy Jr.  And sue me if my count is off, this isn't a math quiz.

- For great conversation

• My authors - Isaac Asimov,  JR Tolkein, Orson Scott Card
• My thinkers - Carl Sagan, CS Lewis, Ghandi
• My musicians - Steve Martin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter
• My Politicians - Ronald Reagan,  Nikita Khrushchev, Bill Clinton ('cause someone has to bring the hookers)
• My debaters - Gloria Steinem, Jon Stewart, William F. Buckley
• And yes, I know there aren't enough women on my list.  I know.
• however, I will add back in  Brooklyn Decker, Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde,  Charlize Theron, & Penélope Cruz.  You don't get far in Hollywood without being pretty smart, as well as being pretty.  I'm sure would all make great dinner guests.

- Because you detest them

• Bill Maher - he's a blowhard, intolerant, insincere, bigoted, asshole of a human who has no respect for faith, good will, or hope, but he's too funny to fire.
• Rush Limbaugh - See above statement, but add in more sincerity.
• Any number of politicians (left and right) who think that they have any right to take my money and spend it the way they do.  

 

Bonus: Your lover brings you breakfast in bed. What’s on the tray?

I'm not picky, as long as she brings it to me naked.
