    I made some 15 bean soup with a giant, meaty ham hock from the store and some yellow rice. The perfect meal to warm your bones and fill you up. My Pops and I were having a blast with full tummies and good football to watch. And my dog loves her some Papa.

    I thought you might be going to eat the dog.  Are you Korean?

    Hahahaha. That's my Pops. Not Korean...that dog is way too bitter anyway! ?

  • Yesterday, our tailgate was mostly pretty standard stuff (burgers, 'dogs, brats, bacon wrapped smokies, etc) but I made a good sized batch of my beef jerky & it was a hit. We decided it is good luck, so it will be added to standard fare at our future tailgates. Last home game I took bacon wrapped olives which are good IF you like olives, but most of our guests do not, so those are now off the tailgate list.

    My first thought too. Ate that in Vietnam and it was actually quite good. I don't recall if it tasted like chicken though.?

    When I was a kid, I could go through a jar of 'em. As a saltaholic, that must be the reason. One of my favorite adult beverages is an extra dirty martini Bombay Saphire please (replace the vermouth with olive juice) and extra olives. If they're stuffed, pimentos ruin a perfectly good olive. Blue cheese is nice though.

    PS as a saltaholic, it was a really happy day when I discovered soy sauce was essentially liquid salt.

    I found out about 30 years ago that I run a low sodium......hooray for me.....I like most people love salty stuff. 🙂

    In fact now I can eat almost anything on my diet. Makes GAMEDAY MEALS more fun!

    And for me olives of either color were in a near 3 way time for guaranteed gag reflex food, both barely beaten out by room temp asparagus out of a can?. As an adult I can take the black ones if they are well disguised in a Mexican dip for tortilla chips.?

    What you ran 30 years ago is probably not true now.

    PS- I don't like asparagus either.  🙂

    Someone send hoorta a truckload of Ramen soup! 

    Ramen? When I make French Onion soup, I reduce that beef stock down to a silly  level- if you want to talk salt overload. My drunk mushrooms- garlic, butter, white pepper, lots of Gallo XO brandy- with a real healthy dose of salt. 🙂  

  • Mike I apologise- it looked like a double post, both went away- please re do it- I'll leave it alone this time..  

  • PS the Hoorta had a fine Christmas swilling with some wine appreciative company.  As I like to call them "church wines", because on my retirement budget- they're not replaceable anymore.  For the ladies that don't like red- a 2005 Selbach Oster riesling auslese. We thought it was muy bueno. We just put out trays of stuff like bread, crackers, various cheeses, cappacola, prosciutto, etc no need to do any heavy kitchen stuff. Big wines of the day were a 1990 Chateau Leoville Poyferre, and a 1983 Cockburn vintage port. Both quite yum.  🙂

    Got a bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 Solera rum from Venezuela for Xmas and tasted it side by side with my Diplomatico. It was good, but still have not found the elusive rum that can beat the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. 

    In-laws brought a 2016 Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Pinot Noir which went very well with ham or turkey. One bottle for the ham at out house Xmas Eve and the other for the turkey at my daughter's for Xmas Day dinner. It was a very nice light red wine when compared to Cabs or Zins.

    1796? Was that the year they made it?  😁 I only bring that up because for many years I thought my bottles of Lustau 1918 Oloroso sherry were vintage dated. It's very unusual, though not unheard of to find a vintage dated sherry. We opened one of the several I had saved back in June so we could say we drank a 100 year old wine.  Turns out that was the year Lustau was founded, not the age of the wine.

    Though wine is my area of expertise, I'll defer to Ag on the Diplomatico Reserva. It's the finest rum I've ever tasted, bar none. It's the rum equivalent of a top shelf cognac or bourbon.

    For the last game of the season I'll be making lasagna. I use hot Italian sausage instead of hamburger, and with the ricotta I put a layer of cappacola on top of it, and spinach under. (It's like an Italian flag inside the lasagna!) I'll start making the sauce Saturday, probably use some of it to make some chicken parmigiana for us to eat that night, then I'll slap the lasagna together Sunday morning and bring it down with us to Columbus for our (after) XMas get-together. I'll bake it there. Tasty! 

    Sounds delicious. Post up pics

    Venezuelan Independence Day was declared by that Spanish colony July 5, 1811 so they must have all had a good toast to the occasion with Santa Teresa Rum.?
