thought for the week

If you could host the ultimate dinner party, which three people (dead or living) would you invite and what would you eat?

“Abraham Lincoln — I just want to talk to him. I’d just like to see what he really says, what his true feelings were. We have what’s on paper and what people wrote about him. So I would like to see from his mouth what he was going though especially to be in a position like that. I would invite Jesus because that would be insane. And then I guess I would like to meet the very first of the Ohno family from Japan. And food — we would have whatever they wanted. Whatever Jesus wanted, whatever the man
wanted — I’m not saying we’re not going for Mexican; hey if they want nachos, they can have nachos. They can have whatever they want, this one’s on me.”

  1. That’s a pretty nice-looking dinner companion you’ve got posted there. 🙂
    I’d invite Maya Angelou, Jesus, and Mozart. We might have bread loaves and fish, or maybe something more elaborate. Whatever suited their ndividual or collective fancy, that’s what I’d serve. For me, food wouldn’t matter. I’d be feasting on the experience.

  4. If they want nachos, they can have nachos.
    I am now left to wonder what Jesus, Abraham Lincoln and the first Ohno from Japan would make of nachos . . .
