I am having a dinner party and can invite anyone, living or dead. My table seats eight but I am one,so I can invite seven people.
The guests do not include Jesus, Buddah, Krishna, Allah or any religious organization godhead...
although I think they'd be interesting. Perhaps next time.
Starting with an Asparagus and Salmon salad
Bread,Cheese,Wine.
Here is my guest list:
1.My Mother- Dead almost 10 years. Love of my life.
Of course she is first on my list.
2.Leonardo DaVinci-I have a multitude of questions for him.
3.Leonard Cohen-He'd bring poetry and general grooviness to my party
4.Ruth Amanda Daugherty (my great grandmother from Ireland)-for stories and laughter.
Our next dish will be Articokes from the garden drizzled with Olive oil and grilled over an open fire. They will be served with herbed butter,lots of napkins and
a flight of various wines.
5. I would invite 1 bloggerista perhaps you-to comment about the affair
6. Anais Nin-for soothing words like constellations
7. Jelaluddin Rumi-for my soul
8. That'll be me...
More bread comes in baskets
Next course is alphabet soup with fresh pasta. No one is at a loss for words however the letters came in handy when translating a Rumi thought.
Fruit and soft cheese with a sweet wine or coffee finish the meal.
Who would you invite to a fantasy dinner party?
Oooh! love the menu :) especially the dessert!
ReplyDeleteI was going to invite Rumi but he didn't seem fit in with my other guests. Great Poet
ReplyDeleteYou plan a great dinner. I'll call you next time I have a party. Chips and beer is about all I serve. loved the art
Leonard Cohen might bring '...tea and oranges that come all the way from China...'
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! The pictures and words flow so well together!
ReplyDeleteGreat dinner party, food and guests!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to have Mary Oliver along with Leonard Cohen. And Marc Chagall!

Amazing dinner party Gemma. If I ever have one, I'd want you to organize it for me. Lovely! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteFantastic menu, and interesting guests Gemma.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who would be on my list, but my departed parents for sure.
Rumi would be interesting too.

Wow! I want to be invited to one of your dinner parties! The food sounds delicious. I'd have to have mine catered or no one would come!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a grand dinner party and it all flows together. Great guests. Thx for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAloha Gemma..
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with a few friends at a dinner party in a Sedona park :)
peace, Kai
What a lovely dinner party!:)
ReplyDeleteColor Pencil Drawing: Lord Krishna with his mother
Now that sounds like quite a party! Love that menu.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'd probably take up half the table with my loved ones that have gone on. I'm going to ponder the other half of the guest list for awhile. Though I'd have to have more than one of these dinners - 'cause some day I hope to have a dinner together with you and the GPS!
Excellent choices Gemma! What a fun fantasy dinner. I'll agree with Kai too,,haha
ReplyDeleteI would invite you & Daisy.. and we would have cupcakes and tea.
