World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
Feast for my 100 closest friends:
Good champagne, scallop sashimi, sweet oysters, briny oysters
Wild mushroom salad with poached egg, heirloom tomatoes
Perfectly roasted halibut; "wing & mac snack" from Country Sweet, Rochester, NY; rare, charred porterhouse
Chopped liver, cheese plate (surprise me)
Bread pudding, New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream
I cannot pronounce schug.
HAHAHA! I live down the street from Country Sweet way up here in Rochester. :o)
i'm kinda scared to click on "schug."
also, no peanut butter? the hell?
Don't be scared. You'll like it.
I also wondered about the peanut butter but assumed it was an allergy.
