Tomorrow you will be executed. So tonight’s dinner will be anything you want, with a few restrictions. You can choose up to 3 different food items (e.g. steak, baked potato, & corn bread) & 1 dessert & 1 drink, besides water. So what will you order? ETA: I’m feeling generous since you’re dying tomorrow, so an appetizer, soup or salad is also allowed ---

Start with deep fried mushrooms. Slow roasted really fatty roast beef. Use a slow cooker and let it cook a good 8-10 hours. Whipped baby red potatoes with the skin on smothered by the gravy from the roast. Cook carrots with the roast, letting them float in the juice. For dessert deep fry me some Oreos covered with vanilla ice cream. Wash it down with some Leinenkugel’s Creamy Dark ale. Death by instantaneous heart disease. ---

Ensalada mixta (lettuce, asparagus, hard-boiled egg, green olives, onion; oil, vinegar and salt) Grilled sole And then the nuclear dessert: Copa Shanghai as prepared in a now-defunct restaurant on Rambla Catalunya. Three large balls of ice cream. Whipped cream (natural, none of that potted crap). Honey. Roasted almonds. All of it in an overflowing hurricane glass. Just kill me while I’m digesting, willya? ---

Oysters Rockefeller Crab Imperial Stuffed Flounder, Asparagus, and Jalapeno & Cheese Cornbread A bottle of Pinot Noir - yes a whole bottle of wine. Being a little tipsy won’t hurt in this situation. Pecan Pie (and I would have to bribe a guard for coffee as an extra beverage - got to have coffee with dessert!)
