Imagine having them all over for supper. What would you cook?

There would have to be Johnny Cakes, Bison steaks, baked beans, and petit fours. Beverages would be wine, tea, and water.
Appetizer: finger sandwiches shaped like Mickey Mouse.
Main course: Bison steaks with baked beans and johnny cakes.
Dessert: Petit fours
Beverages: Whiskey, wine, tea, water and Midera
How about you?
Huggles,

I'd really like to meet Leonardo da Vinci to see the whole that all those ideas and creativity made up. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that he would be very much like a friend of mine who died a few years ago (or rather that the friend must have been been similar to what da Vinci was like), and I'd like to know whether I'm right.
Me? I'd like to meet my great-grandfather. He was a country doctor and a poet.
I'd love to sit down and have a chat with Jane Austin. And I'd be all over King Author!
Great idea for a TT!
Did someone say bison???? I'm there!
Cool list, guys. Every time I try to make one, Axl Rose finds his way on it. I'm not sure why...
That is a great list...who would I like to meet....gonna have to think on that one!
Cool TT!!
Phyllis - did any exhibitionist traits gets passed down? :D
Cool list. I'm not sure who I'd put on the list. Have a great weekend.
