Christmas Dinner with Mark Twain (the fictitious, all you can eat version.) – Lioness at Large

Christmas Dinner with Mark Twain (the fictitious, all you can eat version.)

24 Festive Tasks: Doors 9 – Thanksgiving, Task 2 and Door 20 – Christmas, Task 2:

Describe your perfect meal.  What would you cook for the perfect celebration, or, what would you have your imaginary personal chef cook for you?

And:

 Tell us: If you could share Christmas dinner with any author (dead or alive), who would it be?

I’ve decided to combine these two tasks — they both deal with dining in some fashion, and while I would actually not want to change anything about my / our personal holiday traditions, just for once I think it might be fun to have

Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner with Mark Twain, 

enjoy his sense of humor and myriads of stories (he must have been quite the raconteur), all the while enjoying an

all you can eat dinner

featuring my mom’s very own minced beef and bell pepper stir fry, her potato salad, as well as my BFF’s curry & cream soup, Indonesian rice salad, and mousse au chocolat;

amplified by some of the goodies that make up my favorite restaurant’s weekly changing culinary trip all around the Mediterranean and some of my favorite Spanish restaurant’s tapas.  (Alternatively, a bunch of Indian curries — say, mango, korma and saag –, Thai / Indonesian / Vietnamese lemongrass chicken, Szechuan beef, and sweet & sour pork.  Or a selection of Mexican burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos with guacamole, salsa roja and sour cream on the side …)

All of this, with a nice Rioja Gran Reserva, plenty of sparkling mineral water, and an espresso or cappuccino to chase it down … as well as a single malt, preferably 15+ years of age.  Cheers!
