They don't let them have alcoholic beverages. I think at one time they
did... a couple of bottles of beer, at least.

I should rephrase that. Glass bottles would be a no-no. Cans, sans
sharp pull-tabs. We wouldn't want someone to break a bottle and cut
their own throat or slash their wrists before we could kill them.

White wine mixed with diet coke? No wonder you're on Death Row!

There was an article showing last meals before criminals were bumped off:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...residents.html

DH opted for sausage, egg, chips and baked beans with good bread and butter
and a glass of malt.

I don't know that I have a favourite food. I like a lot of things but
none excusively.

I don't know how much a fifth is, but I reckon I might ask for a bottle of
gin and one of tonic. Ice would be nice too ;-)

Nope... I'm sure there are newbies who have probably never heard us talk
about it before. Besides, it's been a few years.

These might not go together, but here goes:

.. A thick rare tenderloin steak drowning in a pat of melting butter
.. Mashed potatoes made with butter and cream
.. Creamed spinach with lots of Parmesan cheese
.. A few slices of buttered baguette
.. Coconut cream pie
.. 2 pina coladas
.. a bottle of good Champagne

Heh it would go together for me for a last meal although I might choose a
different pudding. Some kind of pie with ice cream I think

I had never heard of putting butter on a finished steak before until
several people in this newsgroup have mentioned it before. I would
maybe try that sometime, but I'd sure hate to ruin a good medium-rare
ribeye if it turned out that I didn't like it. %-0

Ha! A pie is a good thought. The few times someone made me a homemade
apple pie (with homemade crust) for my birthday, I skipped all other
foods and ate pie for lunch, pie for dinner, and pie for dessert. 24
hours is the max life for a good apple pie here.

(and that's why I rarely make one myself)

I wouldn't put butter on a ribeye, or on a highly marbled steak.
I'm grilling a sirloin today, and it will be getting buttered.

Purple is still raw. Not bad tasting but a little too chewy. I like to
catch it *right* as the center turns red more than pink.

Yes -- but I'd be greedy:
