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.

Only aliens do not like olives!! Wrap them in bacon you say??? YUM

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!
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

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.?

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.

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

And the USA was founded in 1776 the distillery was a real early start up.
The good ol' USA the melting pot of good things like food, spirits, etc. from all over the world but by far the real engine of innovation and industry.

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.?

For today’s game I think good old Ma Goose had it about right.
420 black birds baked in a pie.
Sooooo, would that be considered a pot pie?

Today I can actually get the game on Direct TV, so it's Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn and a Coke Zero for the early games and for the Browns at halftime a large Chicken Tamale in green chili sauce with another Coke. Got eggnog rum if needed for losing (or for winning).?

Well playoff GAMEDAY meals this weekend:
Saturday we had black olives, New England Clam Cowder and some black forest ham, hard salami sandwiches with swiss on Italian bread.
Sunday one of my cold weather favorites oven roasted chicken with potatoes, onions and carrots and our home grown herbs......yum!
......edit add, sometimes more expensive is better sometimes not. We've been ordering our can goods through the Amazon Prime Pantry, easier on the wife's shopping (her department) not loading and unloading all the extra stuff, delivered right to our door.
I like their everyday black olives better than Lindsay and others. I also do like to get the better soups at decent prices......how does Amazon do it?
