You’ve decided to throw a dinner party for yourself and three others. placesettingclipart

Who would you invite (invitees can be living or dead)? What would you serve? Why? And tell us what you might ask each person in order to facilitate your dinner table discussion.

Have fun!

    I’ll play.

    JFK – Obama and Maria Schrivner if I was in a political mood.

    My dad, maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother — lots of family stuff.

    Hemingway, Steven King and my future agent — to talk about the book industry, writing and how to plan a writing career.

    If I’m cooking it’s probably something easy like chicken and veggies over pasta, a green salad, fresh baked rolls and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. And wine, lots of wine.

    OK, I’ll play too

    Charles Schultz
    Agatha Christie
    Lucille Ball

    I don’t know that I would have specific questions for them; I would just love to be engaged in a conversation with them and hear about their journey! They each had such incredible careers that touches so many lives. I would be very curious to hear how Agatha Christie came up with her plots and poisons though :)

    I would serve homemade gnocchis with meatballs and garlic bread, one of our fingerlakes wines, and maybe a creme de menthe parfait for desert!

    Great answers, Lynn and Nikki! And, um, can I come for dinner, too? Both menus sound awesome!

    I think I’d have:
    Walt Disney
    My grandma
    Mary Higgins Clark

    I’d have corned beef for my grandmother, something blistfully delicious for dessert for Walt…and whatever Mary wants provided I could pepper her with writing/book questions all night long.

    :)

    I thought you might like my literary night…. LOL I’d come to yours as well. Walt Disney grew up in northern Idaho (for at least a while….)

    I would have Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy and my great-grandmother and we would talk about race relations. My great-grandmother was disowned by her Irish family for marrying a Black man. I would love to see her in conversation with these two and then perhaps I’ll learn more about her family and how she felt not belonging.

    I would prepared roast chicken, baked potatoes and collard greens and chocolate cake for dessert.

    Chocolate cake, Dru? Mmmmmm……. MLK would be cool. Every time I see his “I Have a Dream” speach I’m always touched by the COURAGE it took to say those things. Gets me teary-eyed.
