I will serve my "famous" manicotti meal and serve it with a wunderbar salad and cheese garlic bread and a sweet red wine (mostly because I detest wine! lol)

Miss-

feynman and rollins at the same party????

if i promise to clean up afterwards can i go to your party?

There is no cleaning up at imaginary parties, so come along anyway!

We are having champagne for drinkies (probably a protein shake for ol' Henry as he doesn't drink)

Delia Smith can do the cooking. For entree, her asparagus tips in creamy cheese sauce baked in pastry (haven't tried it yet but it looks divine). Main might be swordfish with grilled potato slices and other vegetables and dessert has to be raspberry souffle with Vahlrona chocolate pouring sauce. Mr Ed gets mixed grains with molasses and a pat of lucerne hay.

Hard questions? Between Richard playing the drums and Diana dancing on the table, I fear I won't get a word in!

Lalania, I forgot about David Suzuki and Keanu - good choices

[RICHARD]

my home made foccaia, olive oil, olives, sundried tomatoes,cheese

Good grief! Can I come over for dinner even if the rest of the guests don't show up. Maybe a trial run..........experiment before the "real" dinner!

[mugsy]

I don't like anything that swims, but the foccaicia bread sounds wonderful. I'll bet Richard would let you crash the party!

[Logan]

How boring am I? We're grilling out, a little of anything, to suit everyone, famous or not!!! We'll have some beef and chicken, plus some skewers with seafood and vegetables. We'll grill some beautiful peppers because Scott knows how to do that so well!!! Plus we'll have a big salad with a variety of dressings, fresh bread and lots of wine, of all sorts, to suit everyone, with a ice tea and water for those who don't want the wine. I think it will be a grand party (one I really wish I could have).

[mugsy]

Logan, I'm coming to YOUR party!!

[gini]

Mugsy, yeah I guess I could crash the party.........but maybe I should have one of my own. My invited guests..........


Hmmm, Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey...............

I wouldn't want to ask them a thing........but I could listen to them for a long time.

And David McCullough...........I want to ask him lots of questions about history.

I will have to think on the other guests.

What will I serve? In one of my cookbooks there is a picture of an outdoor picnic. The picnic table is covered in newspaper and a cloth. Piled on this table are soft shelled crabs. Sitting to the side is lots of ice cold beer. I always thought it would be fun to have that picnic, even though the beer isn't my favorite.

A picnic would make everyone relaxed and you could sit there for hours picking and eating and talking.

Gee wouldn't it be nice to be able to afford to just travel around to all the PTers houses and have these parties??? Ahhh....it's nice to dream.

[Randi]

I'm quite a bit behind here, but for dinner I'd love to have:

Sorry, not all of them are from the past.

Stevie Ray Vaughan (for music)
Richard Feynman (for science etc.)
Sean Connery
Michale Caine
Joanna Lumley

... can I have one more?

Phred! (for good story telling!) (no clams - I promise!)

[mugsy]

So what's for dinner Randi??

[Randi]

We'll start with a Cava! For appetizer it's got to be Italian Garpaccio. For the main course a huge juicy leg of lam, marinated in garlic, rosemary, lemon, salt and pepper. And lots of red wine! For dessert, I'm not sure (so many choices ) perhaps a good sorbet etc. With the coffee, my homemade chocolade truffles and also my mom's apple cake - and Jamie Olivers' chocolade/nut cake ..... uhmmm!!

Oh, perhaps a selection of Tapas would be better - to fit all! - And if it's summer, there'll be Gazpacho (I just got a new blender)

Did you notice .....no clams!

[mugsy]

Hmmm....how much is a passport and a ticket to Denmark???

[Randi]

LOL Mugsy! Flights are getting cheaper and cheaper aren't they - you're welcome any time! Denmark is a civilized country!
