Last - and Greatest - Meal Ever

Today's blog topic comes from the NaBloPoMo site:

If you knew that whatever you ate next would be your last meal, what would you want it to be? Go blog about it and share the link or share the answer in the comments, if you aren't a blogger.

Hmmmm. I love food. Love it, in any way, shape of form.

Except beets. And carrots. And fish. And sushi. And organ meat. And milk.

Ok, so I love *most* food.

So this question should be easy - but it just so is not. There's lots of food that I could eat for a last meal - really good macaroni and cheese, steak, meat pies, bread dripping with butter, pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs and sausage, greek salad, spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette, fresh broccoli with lemon and butter, honeycrisp apples -

but I think I'm gonna stick with Thanksgiving dinner.

I flat out LOVE Thanksgiving dinner. The traditional one, mind, not a "new style" lasagna feast or anything else. Turkey. Stuffing. Gravy. Cranberry. Green beans. Corn pudding (my mom's recipe). Carrot souffle (my sister's deceased husband). Homemade rolls.

That's what I'd choose. What about you?

------------------------------------

Thankfulness for today: I am thankful for my parents. (h/t to faithful reader Cori for this one!) My parents have always been there for me. Maybe not in the *exact way* that I WANTED at that certain time, but in retrospect, it was the exact way I *needed*.

Okay...I am totally with you on Thanksgiving Dinner, in fact, my husband and I make one off season a couple times a year we love it that much :)

Pizza from my hometown. Loaded with onions, italian sausage, mushrooms, and spinach. Yum!

Mmmm.
Conch salad and fresh bakery bread to start.
A selection of perfectly roasted meats - beef, lamb, pork - and the appropriate sides... mint sauce for the lamb, yorkshire pudding and gravy for the beef, apple sauce and for the pork. Crisp crackling from the pork. Extra crunchy roast potatoes. Fresh arugula leaves, lightly dressed.
Super hot and fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts for dessert.
And maybe a side of bacon, just because.
:)

Start with a hot, cheesy mega-pepperoni pizza with a few mushrooms added,a frosty cold draft beer, a bowl of Bluebell coffee ice cream, and a couple of Oreos. Oh, hell, screw dinner. I'm going out!

Definitely Thanksgiving dinner (minus stuffing --- gross!) Would you share your corn pudding recipe? I've never had that (or even heard of that).

Champagne, porterhouse steak (medium rare), creamed spinach, wide cut french fries with home made mayo, watercress salad, chocolate cake, nice Cab Sauv.

Probably fresh green beans from the garden (cooked with hamhocks), fresh cream style corn, my Dad's tomatoes, cucumbers & onions in vinegar, baked June apples, hot cornbread...food from my childhood.

Would you be willing to share your mom's corn pudding? Please???

[Kyla]

My moms ribs, meatloaf, spaghetti, fried rice and egg rolls my grandmothers potato salad and my own roast chicken. An order of potstickers with extra dipping sauce from Charleston, SC A bowl of tortilla soup and pancakes from Austin, TX and a large cheese pizza from Ashland, WI

My grandma's spaghetti and meatballs with her homemade bread and green beans with bacon on the side ... and her cherry-filled cookies for dessert. (Too bad I'm gluten-free and can't eat any of it anymore, except for the beans!)

Mmm ... corn pudding ... sounds intriguing! Would you be willing to post the recipe???

Pancit, Lechion and loompia would be my last meal. We only have it at Thanksgiving Dinner. It is so very good. It is a tradition for our family. It works since I am not a big fan of turkey. I like it but not enough for a great holiday like Thanksgiving.

[Bethany]

Ohhh I didn't know they were going to post a prompt every day. This might at least help... :D

Yes, Diet is very important for everyone to maintain good healthy body. Dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt are excellent sources of protein and they also contain valuable calcium that is very helpful for losing weight.
