Death Row or Just Leaving For School?

Ironically enough, 24 weeks ago, I announced my death row meal to the world via Instagram. I did not have to think hard about this but when I told my mother of my choice, she decided to make an event of it. To her, the time spent before my departure to school is just like my time on death row - sad, dreaded and filled with all of my favorite things. Thus, when I go to head out, she invites the whole family over and cooks me my "Death Row Meal."

24 weeks ago, I woke up to the smell of Fresh Turkey Day (That's what we called it)! It was the day I was heading back to school and I knew what to expect for that day's big meal:


  • Fresh and golden, oven-roasted turkey
  • Mac and Cheese made with Velveeta mixed with corn and peas and topped with some bacon bits
  • A side of fruit - preferably watermelon
  • A crisp, golden brown dinner roll
  • Chocolate milk made from 2% (Usually drink Skim so this is me splurging and Hersey's syrup (lots of it)

After all of that, I would like to have brownie batter (Duncan Hines, double chewy fudge without the extra chocolate packet and raw) for dessert. 


Up until dessert, my death row meal isn't far from healthy but it is the freshness that I want for my last meal - and my mamma's loving in her cooking. But if I had to look and add it up and then celebrate not caring one bit, this would be the breakdown:

153 Calories

360 Calories

184 Calories

86 Calories

87 Calories

158 Calories

340 Calories

In all, my death row meal brings me to 1,368 calories. Something I really could care less about because it is just that good. Although, this assignment is pretty naughty because a meal I called "healthy" above, is really just as fattening as anyone else's meal. 

Crap. Should have just gone for the Steak 'n' Shake chicken fingers and chocolate milk shake. That is only 1000 calories. Screw it. I'm already craving all of this, I'm getting that tomorrow.
