Raptured

So the world is going to end on Saturday, right? You’ve all heard about this? I am finding it entertaining to think about what I’d like to do with my week, you know… on the off chance that this year is the year that it actually happens (although also amusing, if you scroll down the Wikipedia entry and find “notable rapture predictions” you will see that Sir Issac Newton determined that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060, based on some calculations he made from the book of Daniel. Whoa whoa whoa… did he really read the Bible and throw some science up in that shit? Crazy.)

Anyway, there isn’t anything remarkable on my list. I want to cook something delicious/go running outside/kiss a boy/smell the ocean/see a movie/listen to music/eat a pomegranate. Also laugh, cry, sleep, and have an orgasm. And maybe watch some Youtube videos of cats on treadmills and shells with shoes on. In fact, there is nothing on my list that I don’t do (or try to do) on a semi-regular basis. Some might say this means that I lack motivation and creativity in the face of disaster, however I prefer to think it means that my life pretty much rules already.

My friend Kris and I used to play this game where we would discuss -sometimes for hours, and yes I know that means we’re geeks – what five fruits we would select if we could only eat those five for the rest of our lives (although if I can only eat five fruits for the rest of my life the world better fucking be ending on the 21st. Just sayin’.) In the spirit of that ridiculous game, I want to know what people would eat for the rest of the week if Saturday is the day. Give me your rapture menus people! I’d love the inspiration ’cause I’m planning on doing a lot of cooking this summer. Mine would look something like this I think…

Tuesday:
Eggs over easy with salt and pepper and toast
Blackberries
Lemony caesar salad
Pizza

Wednesday:
Greek yogurt with honey and almonds
Pasta with anchovies, lemon, parmesan and fiddlehead ferns
Red velvet cupcake
Irish breakfast tea

Thursday:
Bi Bim Bap with grilled salmon and brown rice
A honeycrisp apple
Orange blossom lemonade
Salt and pepper potato chips

Friday:
Flatbread with goat cheese, grilled fennel and pear
Iced honey latte
Raw almonds
Roasted cauliflower

Saturday:
How long do I have? WTF time does the world end anyway? I want Greek food… roasted lamb, tzatziki, taramosalata and grape leaves. And ice cream please. And I want to end the day by going to a yoga class, having sex, and watching “Wet Hot American Summer”. Ok I’m done.

So let me have it friends… I want to know!

(Confession… I totally just wrote this post because I figured my blog would get a ton of hits from people searching for The Rapture. I win.)
