My Last Supper
Tonight's Top Chef left me in a pensive, food-related state... yet again.
On tonight's episode, the contestants were asked to prepare the ideal last meals of some real top chefs, which in turn got me pondering about what my last meal would be if I could have my choice.
The only thing came to mind was a LTA (lettuce, tomato, and avocado) sandwich on toasted white bread. Nice and simple. (So simple that I can hardly believe it myself, but I really can't think of anything better.)
Now mind you, the ingredients would ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY have to be top quality. Like I am talking about the freshest, crispiest lettuce imaginable with a juicy, not-too-ripe-or-sweet, firm tomato (maybe VERY lightly seared just for a bit of caramelization, while completely retaining my desired firmness). It would be crucial, too, to have the freshest avocado, thinly and evenly sliced.
The lettuce should be seasoned with just a dash of salt and a touch of pepper. The tomato would be in the middle and VERY lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The avocado too should be just barely touched with the EVOO (Rachel Ray's fave term) and it would not be frowned upon to have the toast on the avocado side flickered with vinegar.
Warm, freshly made plain white bread should be toasted to the color of caramel for the meal.
Cut diagonally would be ideal.
And an arnold palmer on hand to wash it down with.
...And that ladies and gentlemen is a meal I would indeed die for.

Oh, sad day...
Top Chef is one of my favorite shows. I love watching (almost) every aspect of the show. I watch repeat episodes happily. I'll sit in front of the telly and watch six hour marathons without realizing where the time went.
However in tonight's episode, they went to a farm to pick up their ingredients. Including the meat ("protein") ingredients.
Yep, right before they slaughtered the animals to put in their pots and pans, they got to do a little meat (oh sorry, I meant meet) and greet with their ingredients/poor defensive less little animals raised to die. (Well, technically they met the family and friends of the unfortunate few who got fed to Padma and Tom's guests.)
So sad.
