My Last Supper

The coffee table book at Brenna's aunt's house was My Last Supper. It's a book interviewing the world's top 50 chefs and asking them the following:
1. What food would you want served as your last meal?
2. Who would prepare the food?
3. Who would be invited to the meal?
4. What music would you have playing?

I spent about an hour flipping through this book and it sparked quite the interesting conversation on Easter Sunday.

So after some thought, here is what I would want served if I were to have my last supper today:
(in order)
1. a tall glass of cool water - to cleanse the palate and refresh my body
2. flights of wines - including prosecco and moscado
3. a caprese salad with fresh buffalo mozarella
4. an array of cheeses, including brie and the cheddar with chives that Whole Foods sells
5. an array of crackers
6. a loaf of crusty bread
7. sliced fruit: pears, apples, strawberries, pineapple, grapes, blueberries and raspberries. some to be served with the cheese others to just snack on.
8. honey (for the brie and crackers)
9. for dessert: my grandmother's peach cobbler, fresh from the oven and still warm
10. a tall glass of skim milk

I love food and I love the experience of eating food, so by having finger foods that I could pick at, I could take my time with the meal. I would also want all of my family and friends at the meal and we could all be picking at the food on massive plates in the center of the table. There would be lots of conversation and laughter and no one, besides me, would know it was my last supper. That way there would be no grieving during the meal, just celebration.
The food would be prepared by me while everyone stood around the kitchen talking. It would be very important to me that I serve my friends and family for my last supper.
For music, it would start out with shuffling my Ipod and would end with opera. Andrea Bocelli would be lovely.
