Zeno's Bar & Grill

Pull up a chair and pop open a Pacifico. It's time for Thirsty Thursday. Join us if you want, invite a friend, and/or come back next week when we'll have a new Special. Today’s theme…Deserted Island—need we say more?

Which three albums?

Melanie: I’m taking this whole thing literally: If I were really stranded on a deserted island, which sounds kind of scary, I would go for comfort food in the album department, and choose music that was soothing and which reminded me of happy times. Carole King’s Tapestry, Andreas Vollenweider’s Caverna Magica, and The Grateful Dead’s Skeleton from the Closet.

Kelly: If I Could Only Remember my Name by David Crosby, Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Chili Peppers, and The White Album by the Beatles (Album 1 if I can only take one)


Which three foods?

Melanie: Peanut butter, bread and apples. Simply, nutritious, tasty!

Kelly: Coffee, good bread, butter.

Which three books?

Melanie: Gotta be books you can read again and again. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset and Time and Again by Jack Finney

Kelly: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck because they’re kind of opposite politically, and they’re long and really good stories. The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn because it is long and depressing and would make my situation seem not as bad.
