Now this is one of my very favorite dishes for a GAMEDAY or any day meal and I found a quick and easy recipe for you for CRAB ALFREDO. I prefer crab to lobster but you can adapt it for either if you like. It would also be good with shrimp if you'd like it that way. Or you can go out to a fancy restaurant and see if it's any better at a fancy price.

From one of our favorite recipe places Delish !

Red Lobster fans, you can thank us later.

This week's GAMEDAY Sunday meal was my wife's homemade chili with corn bread and butter.

Chili is always great when you look out and see snow on the ground.....and yes I miss the NFL when compared to the new XFL.

I don't know the wife makes it. I think egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, peas, cheddar cheese, fried bread crumps on top.

We're just having having homemade vegetable beef soup with diced steak, tomatoes, onions, potatoes (and carrots for her) with some salt throw in to up the blood pressure.

Arby's has some decent fish sandwiches, but I just can't do the McD's fish sandwich... oof.

Not yet. Arby’s fish is good

I think Arby's fish sandwich is better than most all takeout fish sandwiches with potato cakes horsey sauce and a jamocia shake not bad! And 2/$6 is pretty good too.

Kona coffee. Like magic. The Kona blend is good, but real pure Kona coffee,

and bring me some Kona coffee beans.

The Koa Medium Estate Kona is not bitter at all really. Known for it's smooth aftertaste and lack of bitterness. Look at reviews section and there you will find the comment below. I can attest she is correct IMO.

Estate Medium Roast Ground

This is a perfect medium roast, no bitterness, smooth. The grind is suitable for an automatic drip or a French press. Perfect for coffee snobs.

Beverages of all kinds go hand in hand in all sorts of meals including GAMEDAY and tailgating. We have on our forum wine aficionados and cigar aficionados (me) besides foodies.

Well there are sites and basic information like Java Presse about coffee too like the one below. Knowledge is King!

So whole bean with a home grinder is the way to go. I had Koa grind it up and send it to me FedEx. Still very fresh. Next time I'll try it the other way since I do have a little grinder.?

I'm not the coffee connoisseur or aficionado that's my wife's department but that javapresse site among others is interesting.

2. TASTING COFFEE IS A SKILL YOU SHOULD LEARN

Coffees from Ethiopia and Indonesia taste widely different. Let’s get even closer.

Coffees from Guatemala and Honduras can taste very different. Even closer.

Coffees across the valley from each other in Panama can taste very different.

Coffee is an agricultural product. Its flavor is heavily dependent on the plant’s environment. The soil, climate, health and variety of the plant, the harvesting and processing methods - these all contribute to the diverse range of flavors that coffee can feature.

Ever tasted coffee that had rich aromas of blueberry or rose? Ever tasted coffee with a note of sweet pepper, honey, or cardamom? They’re out there, but you’ll miss them if your taste buds aren’t awake and ready.

I cannot recommend more passionately that you learn to taste coffee. It’s a skill that will take some developing, but it’ll produce lifelong rewards.

Learning to taste coffee well increases your appreciation for the coffee ands its farmers. This skill increases your gratitude for the little things in general. And, to be frank, it’ll boost your coffee aficionado status greatly.
