    I'll even fire up my Weber when it's in the low 20s...  🙂 40s- 50s means I'll get the bike out before the game...  My outdoor bicycling stops at 20 degrees, as long as the roads are clear... with a wind chill around zero. 50 degrees on the bike is a non-issue for me, doesn't limit me time wise, colder that 40, your toes start getting cold after an hour or so...  (But they wouldn't if I wasn't getting so damn lazy in my old age, and swap out the pedals (for non-cyclists, there's several kinds) so I can use my  Arctic Celsius winter cycling boots  that are good down into the 20s.)   LOL, best $200 dollar present the wife ever got me for Christmas...   

    Har, used to be "a dip in the jet stream". Polar vortex sounds so much more threatening...  

    FIFY. But don't get me started on The Weather Channel. Their goal is to dumb the entire country down to Atlanta Georgia weather standards. Stop acting like it's the end of the world.... Like it's never gotten down to -30, -40 in Minnesota- or North Dakota before.  Those folks know how to deal with that kind of cold, ya wimps...   

  • Oh ya.  Now they label every snow storm like a frigging hurricane.  They suck.

  • I know you all remember that rum I always recommend, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Well the renowned magazine call Wine Enthusiast (Larry can confirm that) named it the 2018 Spirit of the Year against all classes of spirits including rums, whiskeys, scotches, etc. Anyway, thought you might like to know for starting off next season right. Participation Trophy for all who imbibe.??

    Just caught this Ag....  don't get Wine Enthusiast, though I've seen plenty of their issues...  Away from home for a day or two, but I'll pour myself a generous snort when I get home in honor of their achievement... 

    PS- at the Friday night Wine swill at our local restaurant, current issues of the The Wine Spectator were available. If you're planning on living until 90, the 2016 left bank Bordeaux (Margaux et al) are supposedly spectacular... And from personal experience, the 2015 (Spectator says right bank Pomerols & Saint Emilions) were just as good.  I haven't tasted a 2015 Bordeaux yet at any price point that I didn't think was well worth the money...  But you can debate if any wine priced on the high side of $100 is worth it....   🙂

    And to help with that, as well as more expensive, I would recommend vivino.

    https://www.vivino.com/

    It gives very good reviews on just about every wine you can imagine.  When in a store looking, you can go to the app on your phone and take a picture of the label.  It will give reviews and a good selling point to see if you are getting a good deal or not.

    I also have collected wine for decades and am in more the drink down phase then the collecting phase.  I too drink plenty of wines in the$20-$40 range.  Using that app helps me find those treasures.  

    As excited as I get drinking one of my 40 year old bottles, I get just as excited when I find a wine in the $30 range that tastes as good and is as complex as a wine in the $150 range.  That is a good value IMO.

    Have something for the NFL Combine starting today through Monday. Let me see what's in the Leftovers Department. Chicken rice soup, Central Market Cheese and Caramel Popcorn and the perfect wine for both, a fine, sweet Auslese Riesling from the Mosel region.?

    Yes that's why soup, stew, chili are nice for quick easy leftovers. We have one tiny bowl of the wife's beef stew left for today......delicious!  🙂

    I was pleasantly surprised how much better Arby's fish sandwich is than my old favorite McDonald's.

    You shouldn't have been. 

    Filet-o-Fishes are the aquatic version of McRibs. 

    And I even don't want to think what McRibs are made out of....   Compressed burger leftovers? 

  • @dutch-oven said:

    Very similar to hot dogs, I'd guess. 

    Lips and assholes. 

    Ummmmm.... *ding* oooops wrong thread. 😊

    So Dutch did you try your Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches?

  • @dutch-oven said:

    I did... I put a beef roast in a crockpot for 8 hours on low with broth and a ton of Italian spices, garlic, etc... Let it cool and refridgerated it, then sliced it real thin and warmed it up the next day on a nice crusty roll of bread, covered with giardiniera and roasted red peppers. Pretty damn tasty! 

    Sounds good, definite GAMEDAY meal.  I have not had one in awhile wife was in her casserole kick recently and I never got my order in. 🙁 

    Will try it in the future, you know my love of steak sandwiches since 1968, my first year in college at YSU some 50 years ago at the great old Tony's Hideaway. (still have the tee shirts somewhere)

    Tonight my wife was out running errands and she stopped at Jersey Mike's she got a chicken caesar wrap I got a #56 BIG KAHUNA CHEESESTEAK with grilled onions and peppers with mushrooms and jalapeños and extra cheese. Yummy. 😁

    mmmmm lips and assholes with some chili and cheese!! hell yea LOL

  • @dutch-oven said:

    Chili, cheese and onions! 

    Makes me want to drive out to Youngstown (Girard) and go to Jib Jab Hot Dog Shoppe. Gotta get some chili cheese fries with the dogs, too. 

    Oh yeah the legendary Jib Jab going waaaay back to the old Winkie's site before moving to their "new" site about 40 (+/-) years ago......makes you hungry for a sack of dogs!

    Or ocassionally I get hungry for hot dogs with homemade sauerkraut and Tabasco like the old Stanley's on Salt Springs Rd, old mill food and that goes back 50+++ years ago.

    Legendary Youngstown area mill food. We had some great ol' mom & pa shops, still have a few left.

    ....... edit add, The Jib Jab Hot Dog Shoppe in Girard serves thousands of patrons a day. While most can’t agree on which location (Girard, Warren, East Liverpool) is the best, everyone agrees one hot dog is never enough.

    Oh BTW I had an apartment in Girard when I went to YSU......my old hangout. 😉

  • What is everyone's fave wing sauce ....... I like Buffalo ...little kick not too hot dipped in blue cheese 🙂

  • Need some quick and cheap GAMEDAY food?    (I can hear Dutch getting his car keys now. 😆 )
