Plain food is best: ribeye steak & last meal requests

Been following my smart diet tips?


So, which one won you heart?

Port and pickles diet?
Or scratchy grains and soup diet?


Between one thin soup and another and these gigantic bowls of diet popcorn you should enjoy food as much as people who order their last meal do. I doubt they'll go for buckweat. But plain food is best for your tats buds - and for your diet. As a bonus you don't have to part with your life once you are done with your meal.

1. Ribeye steak.

Made it yesterday with the griddle similar to this one.

Medium to mediaum-rare, definitely pink all way inside.
Some salt.
Green salad.
May be a glass of red wine?
That's all you need.


2. Sea bass in coconut flakes

When Lawrence Russell Brewer, a notorious white supremacist murderer, placed his order for his final meal earlier this month...
Brewer, in one last attempted act of defiance, had supersized his request, ordering two fried chicken steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue meat, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice-cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. But as he was led off for his lethal injection, he hadn't eaten any of it*.
