Our April "Home Plates" package included "Last Meals" from Jim Lehrer ("no dessert or coffee" - with good reason), Willie Nelson, Jason Moran (who takes up for mac-and-cheese as a vegetable), Charles Butt, Karen Hughes and Governor Rick Perry (bing-cherry congealed salad with cream cheese and pecan topping - you go, Anita!).

But we actually had a few more that got left out due to space/layout constraints. Apologies to Red McCombs, T. Boone Pickens and Nolan Ryan - but we're delighted to present their final suppers here.

Red McCombs, businessman
A boneless ribeye, cooked medium-rare; my wife Charline’s scalloped potatoes and onions; fried okra; homemade biscuits with lots of butter and honey from Briscoe Ranch, in Uvalde; pecan pie from Levi Goode Company, in Houston (pictured, left); and apple crumb pie from Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, in San Antonio.

T. Boone Pickens, entrepreneur
Johnny’s baby back ribs. Johnny Alexander worked with me for many years when I lived in Amarillo and was CEO of Mesa Petroleum. To make them:

Remove from oven and foil, reserving juice to serve with ribs later. Brown ribs on medium-hot coals until dry to the touch. Turn often to prevent burning.

Nolan Ryan, Rangers owner and team president
Garden fresh tossed salad, a small medium-rare filet, a baked sweet potato, black-eyed peas, sliced beefsteak tomatoes, and pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.

Y'all know what comes next - what would be your perfect (and perfectly gluttonous) last meal?
