Well this past weekend we were staying in and having more freezer/oven food. The wife has been retired since April 4, 2017 after her WC shoulder injury so we're eating right (most of the time) plus she's an excellent cook -and- we have a massive cookbook collection.
It was thick breaded pork chops, stuffing and chopped spinach Saturday/Sunday plus we grilled up some keilbassi for in between meals and keilbassi and eggs for breakfast. Not exactly traditional gameday food but delicious!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tonight's NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME dinner, homemade sloppy joes.
This weekend's GAMEDAY FOODS will probably be Wedgewood Pizza and maybe Philly or maybe even Dutch Oven inspired Chicago Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches.......more work but look goooood (see previous page for recipes).
Ahhhh the life of a good food and sports junkie.
Talk to Hoorta and he'll give you a decent wine list to go with all that.
Talk to war and he'll furnish the whine free.
Sloppy Joes? Zinfandel.
Pizza? Beaujolais Nouveau, Dolcetto, or a lesser Chianti.
Philly or RB? About anything red. You're welcome.

White bean and ham soup with a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing chaser. Now deciding on whether to have sipping rum or a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. Tough life.

Rum!
It's cold here tonight so rum wins 1-0. Think I'll go with Pampero Anniversario from Venezuela.

You just take the ingredients of stuffed peppers and make soup... Two big bottles of Spicy V8, two green peppers, one small onion, 2lbs of hamburg, one cup of rice.
Super easy, pretty damn good.
(That being said, I just saw a food show that featured Italian beef sandwiches from Chicago, which reminded me of mjp and my convo on this thread, which I need to try sometime)
Stuffed pepper soup sounds good, Chicago Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches definitely on our meal plan when I think I can handle them, I've been on antibiotics for going on 7 months now.......not great for a foodie like me but I'm getting better. My appetite is coming back!
My wife makes great drop dead good stuffed peppers using sweeter red peppers and covered with melted cheese.....try it you'll like it better, I guarantee it!
And tonight's pizza was good and I'm staring at an unopened bag of Oreos for my late night snack.

I do this and occasionally swap the pepper out for cabbage and voila cabbage roll soup.

or, you can fry up a couple of packages of Jimmy Dean sage sausage, brown it well, take out the grease, and cook it up
with chopped up sausage. Salt/pepper. Simple.

Championship game Sunday, 40+ degrees in January NE Ohio, the first game kicks off at 3 pm and were going to grill porterhouse steaks baby! Probably with baked Yukon Gold potatoes with butter and sour cream, vegetable side dish a game time decision, beer naturally for me.
We're also going to grill Saturday and Monday with a selection of sausages and other red meat available. NO PIZZA THIS WEEK!
SO who wins, who cares I'm hoping JAX vs PHI in the super bowl but the very first opening odds had MIN vs NE...... we'll see.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Great weather for sure. I think I am going to fire up my smoker and do 6 racks of BBQ ribs!

We had 11F here yesterday early morning which is unheard of for years at a time in Texas. I had Portugese soup and a shot of sipping rum. Portugese soup recipe came from a chef here in Austin who originally served it when he immigrated to the east coast. Made with garlic sausage, ketchup, onions & a fresh garlic sauteed in olive oil, new potatoes and pinto beans (or any bean you prefer) plus beef broth. Great stuff for a really cold day/evening here.
My son gave me a couch comforter with 3 levels of heat. The cat approves and insists on getting under it next to me.

I'm pulling for the pats fans to all get a big gooey cream pie to eat this week!

Slight change in plans well mathematically my mother-in-law came over for the long weekend, nice lady and my wife's friend is also coming over for dinner Sunday -but- we only had two porterhouse steaks, what to do?
D'UH, the wife went out and got four NY STRIPS! , crisis averted besides they like the strips and i get to hoard the porterhouses for later.

Well I roughed it. I just turned on the electric comforter but did not start a fire in the fireplace. Too f'n cold outside to go fetch firewood and too cold in the garage to bring in a treated firelog.

Sounds like a good day for some Chile con carne with some fresh warm bread n butter. Plentiful cold beverages and medicinal wax. Let the games begin!

Speaking of gameday there is a very good chance my wife and I will be driving to Ohio this fall for a reunion to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of our favorite HS teachers when we lived in Venezuela. We'll be staying about 50-60 miles south in Amish country and likely can combine it with a game if the Browns play @ home either Sept. 29 or Oct. 6. As the time gets closer I'll want both directions to parking and to tailgate with you jackasses. Be nice to put some faces with the BS. Are the fall colors in full bloom by then?

Bill, I look forward to actually meeting you in person. If you're driving, try to stop in Memphis to eat at Corky's BBQ. Not sure about the fall colors, but you just may hit it right...all depends on weather, which hasn't exactly been predictable in recent years.
