That One Last Meal–#MFRWAuthor Blog Challenge

Simply Romance Posted on by

If I had to pick one last meal…

I hate this topic because it presents too many options. It also reminds me of crime and punishment and….death.

But here we go:

If I had to choose one last meal, it would probably look something like this:

And what does this image tell you about me? I’m a connoisseur of “junk” food. Throw in some fire grilled chicken and fried rice from Panda Express, some Korean kimchee, and some angel hair pasta with a nice home made mushroom/garlic white sauce, and I’ll be halfway to heaven. Or indigestion, whatever comes first.

Or maybe breakfast…

Seriously, though, I would love to live long enough to go out the way my mother-in-law did. She was living in an assisted living community and suffering from congestive heart failure, to the point that we were visiting her every day after work, knowing we wouldn’t have her around for much longer. One morning the call came into my husband at his office. His mom had gone into breakfast, and then went back to her room and slipped away from us.

Which led to a few jokes in this irreverent family about Mom–a wonderful cook, good eater, and always careful with a buck–getting that one last breakfast in.

This is a blog hop, so hop along with my fellow MFRW authors and see what they have to say on this topic:

That One Last Meal–#MFRWAuthor Blog Challenge — 15 Comments

  1. My mother, who currently lives in an assisted living center, would love to make her exit the way your mother-in-law did. I hope for her sake that she can. Good thing I wrote my blog post before I read yours. I hadn’t even considered breakfast foods. It was tough enough without adding those into the mix!

  3. Ooh, I hadn’t thought about breakfast! Eggs Benedict or a cheese and asparagus omelette with home-made hash browns and a side of French toast and Belgian waffles. That would work.

    I want to go like your mom did, in my sleep after a good meal.

    • Home made hash browns are the best! I like the country fries with lots of onions and peppers.

  4. Passing through the veil in my sleep after a good meal. That’s my choice. Hadn’t thought of breakfast though since I don’t eat it. But will add an old-fashioned cinamon bun (the kind we bought from the back of the bakery truck) and a piece of pecan pie to my list.

    • Oh gosh, that cinnamon bun and pecan pie might just do you in, but what a way to go!

  5. Getting her last meal in, your mom was a smart woman. Junk food, yes it has been my weakness for a long time. Trying slowly to change that, but yeah, for the last meal screw it all and enjoy all the yummy options.

  7. I had a hard time with this topic, but reading posts like this has inspired me. I’d want my dear departed. mother’s meatballs and mashed potatoes, followed by her toffee cookies — and all of this cooked personally by her hands.

  9. Nice post! A hearty breakfast probably would have been my second choice since I haven’t been able to stomach eggs, real butter, or toast in about a decade 🙁 Thanks for sharing!
