Stranded

I got tagged by Momma for a meme. It goes like this:

"Your ship has sunk. You have, of course, been stranded on a deserted island. You have salvaged a copy of the King James Version of the Bible and a copy of the complete works of Shakespeare. Nothing else. “The very next day you find one of those Arabian Lamps in the sand. Of course, you rub it and, of course, a rather grumpy Genie appears. “‘Let’s get this straight - there is a recession going on. There are restrictions on the three wishes now. I don’t do water or air transport now so no boats, planes or magic carpets. As for electronics, forget it. There isn’t the infrastructure on this island. “‘I can let you have one book and I mean one VOLUME, one essential item and one luxury item. Now hurry up and make your choices, I have to get to those five other islands you are going nominate. "

First off, I'm going to switch it to a New American Bible - St. Joseph Edition (the Catholic bible). And, I also want to say, I'm thrilled to have all those works from Shakespeare. "Taming of the Shrew" is my favorite, followed by "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Romeo & Juliet". Not too shabby for a shallow, cleavage bearing hypocrite, huh?

After much thought, I decided my book would be a cookbook. This one looks good and handy:



It's "From the Earth: Chinese Vegetarian Cooking".

Then, for my essential item, it would have to be a big old pot. I'd need to boil water and cook whatever I could find, so a large pot like this would be most necessary:



Finally, for my luxury item, it would have to be a 10 gallon vat of moisturizer (with SPF):



(I know that's not a vat of it, but I couldn't find a pic for a vat of moisturizer. I'm going to rely on the genie to provide me with massive amounts of this).

I guess I need to tag 5 people. I'm going to tag:

Ron

Gingermagnolia

Lisa (a new bud from down under - I know she doesn't like awards, but this is different and I'd enjoy her answers!)

and

MsPulp

Looking forward to the fall-out!
