Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, For Tomorrow We Die

Mrs. Wishy Washy has gained access to Social Zymurgy and has started bossing us all around. Every Sunday, Big Orange will channel her and demand we complete a writing exercise. Here is the first one from "Yoga for the Brain," number 160:

You have just finished writing your autobiography, which includes 10 different chapters. Write a title of each chapter in the book.

Here is the Table of Contents for my autobiography:

1. Look How Blonde My Hair Is!


2. Limelight Is My Favorite Color


3. Pushing the Envelope


4. Musical Me


5. Upwrite


6. Me and Sysiphus We Got A Good Thing Goin'


7. Now That We Are Alone, I Can Say This...


8. Friends in Low Places


9. Philosophy Pie


10. Recipes For My Potluck Wake

I encourage you to complete this exercise as well, but I'm not a ball-busting bitch like Mrs. Wishy Washy, so it is only a request. I'm interested to hear what you have to say. And, in the spirit of the Funeral Meme, that last chapter sparked an idea. I'd like to tap everyone's epicuriosity and ask you all, what hot dishes, finger foods, and desserts would you like people to bring to your wake? Here's mine:

• Sloppy joe's, of course, with white enriched hamburger buns
• Baked pasta, preferable rigatoni baked in a foil pan, with mozzerella and provolone melted to a crisp on top
• Green bean casserole, not my cup of tea, but unforgivable if missing from a wake buffett
• Broasted Chicken and jo-jo potatoes.
• Veggie tray
• Cheese and crackers
• Olive Garden Salad and breadsticks
• Devilled eggs, again, not my taste but people love making these things for wakes, so let them.
• Norcia's rolls and butter
• Pumpkin pie,
• Brownies (no nuts and sprinkled with powdered sugar)
• Chocolate cake
