    None of this food sounds any good to me, except the pistachios in the salad. I'd rather have a regular old tossed salad with a good piece of sirloin and a baked potato.

    *sighs* this only makes me feel worse about my grand Monday night dinner plan:


    Appetizer: two Girl Scout thin mints. I will deny to my last breath that third cookie.

    Main Course: half of a Hamburger Helper Italian Lasagna meal, accompanied by salad out of the sack with some half frozen cucumbers on top and drizzled with ranch.

    Dessert: more GIrl Scout cookies.

    If Jesus had tabloids, I imagine the Last Supper would have been covered as such:


    Christ and his all male guests lounged on vintage, fleece, loom-woven cushions, placed leisurely at an Asian-Inspired drop leaf dinner table (Table: Pottery Barn, $799). Eschewing cutlery, they opted for one of a kind stoneware, created by Nazerene villagers.


    Amusee Course: As only the 2nd most popular person, we've neglected the details of Our Lord's appetizer selections.


    Entree Course: Whole-grain unleavened bread, with extra pure olive oil and red pepper for dipping

    Wine Pairing: My Blood Meritage blend; Israel


    Dessert: A true pragmatist, Our Lord denies desert in order to retain his handsome figure.

    @morninggloria: Guests may drink water, but they will be forewarned about the guest of honor's penchant for turning water into wine. Gentiles in attendance may also partake in an all you can eat buffet of loaves and fishes.

    @lilbobbytables: This menu is killing me, as just an hour ago I was the sad girl at Whole Foods, staring at $16.99/pound scallops in the seafood case, saying "maybe just 2?" and then deciding to be more practical and buy a potato.


    Mr. President, scallops for the people, please!

    Ugh, that meal would be the death knell for me. Yummy shellfish and yummy nuts--and yet, they're my two biggest allergies.


    What do they do for people who are allergic to shellfish? Or to people who eat kosher? /curious

    @Sandicomm: I feel your pain. I have a shellfish allergy and just went to a conference in New Orleans. It is in *everything* there, I feel like I barely made it out alive! When I told them, I'd generally get a vegetarian option, which I think they tend to have on hand usually (and it was yummy, so no complaints!).


    I'd guess the WH has vegetarian on hand, which (if well chosen) can also take care of kosher and halaal requirements.

    @burningdinner: Sunchokes were the veg-of-the-hour a year or two back. For awhile it seemed like half the dishes on Top Chef had some version of sunchokes in them. Sunchoke purée, sunchoke aioli, sunchoke gratin, sunchoke soup, and so on.

    @burningdinner: Sure! Sunchokes are one of those things I would read on menus constantly for a while and would never remember what they were. The definition is finally sticking.
