If you were choosing your last meal - anything you wanted - what would it be and how would it be served? Why?
This would completely depend on my mood at the time, but generally, I think I would pick a huge picnic basket of fresh berries in cream, peaches, crusty bread, this one type of very soft cheese whose name I can never remember, cold kielbasa, hard boiled eggs, honey, and cold white wine. There would be clean napkins in bright red or blue, and white, a big cloth to spread it all out on, outside under beech and birch trees in the fall.
I love picnic food, and eating outdoors. I love the sense of freshness and life it gives to the whole day.
This is a really hard one. I like your idea of food and a setting that evokes freshness and life.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'd pick the birthday meal I always asked for as a kid--homemade pizza (vegetarian is my favorite) and blueberry coffee cake. And yes, outdoors. I think I'd pick the late spring, if only because if I could pick my time of death, I'd choose spring amid the flowers for its sense of life and hope. :)
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the idea of dying in the spring, when "the earth is like a child that knows poems."
