Fiddler and I had a lengthy phone conversation today. We talked about many things including the grave robbers in Chicago. We speculated that most of us will be cremated. Possibly no tombstone will mark our passage. Does that mean we shall pass unnoticed? NO! We want a party when we die. We want all of our favorite foods served at our party. Fiddler gave me a partial list of food that she wants on the "Final Buffet." The last part of our conversation went like this"
Fiddler: Do you think we should put this on the blog? Do you think anyone will respond?
Honor: I think people would like it a lot. I think they would find it interesting. Let's do it.
So I am getting the ball rolling. Here is the food I would like served at my "Transition Party."
1. All kinds of scones
2. Watermelon
3. Honey Dew Melon
4. Roasted vegetables
5. Peanut Butter cookies with Snicker bar inside. Sharon knows how to make these.
6. Hummus and flat bread
7. Falafel and flat bread
8. A savory bean dish ......... the family can choose which dish to fix.
9. Sushi .......There is a sushi place close to where Thomas lives. There is also one in Emporia.
10. Strawberries
This is a partial list. It gives everyone an idea of my tastes. Please serve peach flvored ice tea, also.
Eating someone's favorite foods is a fine way to remember that person.
Final Thought:
Love is the greatest memorial. It lasts long after the tombstone crumbles.

Well I want at my transition buffet the crispy sugar cookies with the hard icing, again Sharon has the recipe. Tiramasu, Mom's banana cream pie, baklava---Ellen you and Katie can handle this one, Mom's breaded chicken---good luck sisters with this one, hummus, soft pita bread with feta cheese and kalamaka olives, stuffed grape leaves, fresh blueberries, fresh pineapple, honeydew and watermelon, smoked salmon(the thin kind that is more like loks)pan seared tuna, but that might be tricky so you can leave it off and to drink chai tea and maybe those mint voldka daiquris.
Ok everyone else, what would you like served at your passing party? Or at life celebrations years after. Would you like a crispy sugar cookie left on your tombstone? Birth, life, death, food is the common denominator really.
Oh, my gosh. I'm so hungry right now. Can we just fix all these amazing foods this Christmas?
Dear Lord, I think I need to go make some hummus right now.
That's right--you read correctly--I can make my own hummus now. Thanks to the sage advice of Beth, Honor, and Margaret.
Mmmm, tasty.
