I’ve been tagged!

It’s been awhile since I posted a meme, and as soon as I remembered I should do one, I was tagged by Forest Parks in his Four Foods on Friday post. Well, I’ll answer his four questions, even though it’s not Friday, and raise you all a list meme. First, to answer the four food questions:

1. How do you like your eggs cooked? Any special ingredients? (Technically, this is two questions.)

Scrambled. And to answer part B, I make “Japanese” scrambled eggs. This means adding soy sauce and sugar to them before throwing them in the pan. Try it!

2. What is your favorite cold sandwich, made on two pieces of bread?

From Togo’s: #26 (Turkey, ham, and cheese, if you have to look!) with avocado on honey wheat. Provolone cheese, extra lettuce, add pepperoncinis, salt & pepper, hold the mayo/mustard/pickles. And a side of Lay’s Limon chips…

3. What is your favorite pie?

Easy. Dutch apple!

4. Name one food you refuse to eat and why?

Iced tea (Is that a “food”?). Why? Because it makes me feel like I’m going to vomit. Really.

The List of Lasts

Now that you know I’m a picky eater, I’m going to expose even more of myself to you all. Feel free to participate in either the above meme, or the one I’m going to make up right now. It’s called The List of Lasts. I had a conversation with Gary the other day, and he was posed the question, “If you knew tomorrow was your last day on Earth (i.e. you’re gonna die), how would you spend it?” This got his wheels turning, as it took him a full 24 hours to come to a conclusion. This in turn got my wheels turning, and I’m going to pose myself a list of questions, and answer them to, well, myself I guess. Feel free to post this meme and tag your friends. See how long it takes all of you to answer these tough questions!

Name the Last Place you’d visit on your last day on Earth.

Considering I only have one day here, I’d visit the cliffs at Corona del Mar (virtual image). I know it sounds cliche but there is a serenity that I only feel when I’m sitting on the cliffs, looking out into the ocean and beyond. The sand, the waves, the wind, the birds, the clouds… It would be the most peaceful way I can think of to leave this place and be sent off to heaven…or the other place.

Name the Last Food you’d eat on your last day on Earth.

I was asked a similar question recently by a friend of mine, and I’m sticking with my original answer. I’d opt for a full Moroccan feast, with anything I want to order — from the dinner menu catered by Aziza of course. The basteeya is to die for, by the way (no pun intended). And I would obviously need to accompany the meal with a delectable beverage, preferably their cilantro kaffir-lime martini.

Name the Last Person (or group of people) you’d see on your last day on Earth.

I couldn’t be so selfish as to spend my last day on Earth with only one person, so I’d opt to spend it with my whole family. My parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother, and newly added nephew. Oh, and Binky would be there too since he’s family.

Name the Last Song you’d listen to on your last day on Earth.

This is probably the toughest one, since I love music so much. But I think it would be The Ballad of Jayne. It’s so very sentimental to me, and reminds me of the most carefree, impressionable, and challenging times of my entire life. During adolescence, every event or emotion is the most important at that moment, and everything matters, no matter how small or detailed. It’s a tough time, but it’s what shapes us and makes us stronger. This is what this song makes me remember, that everything we experience matters.

And that you can’t take anything with you.

Feel free to participate in either of these memes for others to get to know you better, and add “Last” questions if you want, too. To start things off, I’m tagging Nick, Derek, Ed, and Enkay!
