who would you cook for?

 A street in Amman, nice of the owners of this bird to put her outside on the fence, to see other birds flying free..I'm unsure if this is a kind gesture...or a torturous one? <March 2010>

Interesting list.

Who would you like to prepare a meal for?

My five;

• Herodotus
• Queen Hatshepsut
• Joan of Arc
• Stephen Hawking
• Earth, Wind and Fire---the entire ensemble

For those of you in Toronto this weekend, do not forget the most delicious food festival next to Summerlicious....Taste of the Danforth is happening.

Ooh, love Earth, Wind and Fire! Stephen Hawking wouldn't be on my list; he's now saying we all need to move to outer space. On my list: the late King Hussein of Jordan; the Dalai Lama; Jimmy Carter; Marie Curie; Gloria Steinem; Goya and Nelson Mandela. Enjoy your weekend! xoxox

If we can change the rules just a bit and have my husband do the cooking. Well then:

Elvis - I want to sing gospel songs with him.
Sherman Alexie - Have you ever read his books?
MLK - To say, "Thanks."
Abraham Lincoln
Corrie ten Boom

I'm not much of a cook but I would like to have dinner served to me and:

Charles Dickens
Charles Darwin
Catherine the Great
The Bronte Sisters
Marco Polo

[Heather]

I'm going to also say Marco Polo and Queen Victoria. Abraham Lincoln might be a good guest but I bet his wife Mary would be even more interesting.

[Marilyn]

I think I would want 5 different people to prepare a meal for me. Oh, is that selfish? Hummm? Maybe Julia Child, Cleopatra, Tasha Tudor, yes the Dalai Lama, and Katharine Hepburn.

I think I'd opt for dinner with my mother and 4 generations of maternal grandmothers.

[Deborah Carr]

I would definitely choose Terry Tempest Williams and Kathleen Dean Moore, to have a lively conversation on ecology and creativity. And perhaps Stephen Nachmanovitch because I like the way he thinks (and it would be good to have a male perspective).
Then, I'd have another evening with Barak and Michelle Obama, so I could tell them how much I wish they were Canadian.

'Cuze me...Barack.
