I have a very unhealthy obsession with food. I love it. I mean I LOVE it. Sometimes on long car rides I make Brent play this crazy game about what our last meal would be if we were on death row. It's a bit morbid I know, but the odds of either of us ending up on death row are laughable. It's a bit more sad if you play it like you are about to die of some terrible disease. So what prompted this post? I caved the other day and bought a mini bag of Doritos. I didn't finish it and left it in the car. This morning as I was getting out of the car at work I saw that bag. Despite the fact that it was 9:00 a.m. I simply had to eat one...or three. By the way, I'm not on the clock right now. If I'm ever blogging or facebooking or whatever during the day I'm not on the clock! I digress. So eating those three Doritos at 9:00 a.m made me think about how much I LOVE food. So I decided to post a list of all the things I would eat for my final meal. It's sort of like a 25 things about me only with food. My Italian side might be a little offended by some of my choices as they are hardly the fabulous creations we are known for...but some made the list. So in no particular order here is what I would eat.
1. Spaghetti Alla Carbonara from Dominic's on The Hill.
2. Bag of Doritos.
3. Bag of Fritos with a disgusting amount of RO*TEL dip.
4. Johnny Cakes (flour kind not corn) with Aunt Jemima Butter Syrup.
5. Warm blueberry scone with clotted cream imported from London. (This is if 23 isn't possible.)
6. A huge thing of nachos with guacamole, sour cream, loads of cheese, and chili.
7. A chocolate souffle´ with the white chocolate sauce from the Ritz...the kind they made 10 years ago, not their newer version.
8. S'mores.
9. Dewey's Edgar Allen Poe Pizza.
10. Spaghetti Au Gratin from my family's old restaurant (The Willow Inn Club) in Chicago.
11. Heavenly hash made with peanuts and dark chocolate and a lot of gooey marshmallow.
12. Chick fil-A sandwich with extra pickles and waffle fries.
13. Chick fil-A Peppermint Milkshake (so this needs to be Christmas time).
14. My homemade macaroni and cheese with a side of Kraft Mac n' Cheese.
15. Sweet potatoes with real melted butter, brown sugar, and toasted marshmallows.
16. Frozen Snickers.
17. Mint Chocolate Chip and World Class Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and NO cherry!
18. Veuve Clicquot.
19. Cheese fondue from the Melting Pot with large chunks of Companion Bread.
20. Falafel from Falafel King at Portobello Market in England.
21. Crepe with banana and Nutella.
22. A waffle with Nutella and whipped cream from one of the little waffle stands on the streets of London.
23. A full on Tea at the Ritz in London. (They probably won't let me go.)
24. Grilled Cheese with colby cheese on Companion bread Panini style.
25. The biggest cheese plate in the world with at least 30 kinds of cheese...of course I need crackers and mini toast as well.
I could come up with more of course. The way I look at it is that I'd probably die after eating all of this, and buying all the food would be less expensive than the administration costs of an execution. I'd really be saving you, the taxpayers, money in the long-run.
