    You will have to wait until at least  2026......as we only play the Saints every 4 years, and the next time we play them, we play them at home:

    Unless we play in the Super Bowl the previous year:

    Super Bowl LIX
    Sunday, February 9, 2025*
    Mercedes-Benz Superdome – New Orleans, LA

    No just a hobby. If I weren’t 58 and well into a career that forces me nuts I would be 🙂

    That's the way I look at it, I've always liked good restaurants and more and more cooking at home grill or oven.  I started collecting cookbooks many years ago primarily used and we now have over 100.

    Jcam does some really good looking grilling spreads here ! 

    Everybody has to eat we just like to eat well and I enjoy sharing varied, easy and delicious  GAMEDAY  tailgating and party foods many are good for anyday and have for over 15 years online and have an email list for now over 20 friends and neighbors.  If anyone here want to be included just give me your email address.

    So to everyone here on the BROWNS BOARD I wish you all a:

    Bon appetit !  Which means 

    interjection French. (I wish you) a hearty appetite.   🙂

  • Here is a recipe from 2018 that I am putting up here my wife's NJ's TRI MUSHROOM BORDELAISE which is great with a steak hot off the grill or as a side dish. A great GAMEDAY mushroom dish maybe over a nice ribeye.     One of my all-time favorites.

    (again here is one of my favorite mushroom dishes ....oh NJ is my wife, a great scratch cook )
    
    NJ's TRI-MUSHROOM BORDELAISE for steaks and chops or as a side dish, serves 4

    In a one quart sausepan:
    2 Tbsp butter or margarine
    2 Tbsp flour 
    Cook together in saucepan stirring often until lightly browned 

    Dry ingredients:
    1 1/2 Tbsp minced onions or shallots
    1 Tbsp minced dry pasrley
    1 Bay leaf
    1/4 tsp thyme crushed
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp ground pepper

    Add dry ingredients to the butter and flour
    Then slowly stir in:
    10 1/2 oz. Beef broth
    3/4 cup good red wine

    Increase heat to medium high; cook stirring constantly until thick; remove Bay leaf

    Add sauce to mushrooms that have been sautéed in butter; add snipped Parsley to garnish
    1 cup Portabella mushrooms (a very large, rich-flavored cremini mushroom, often grilled, broiled, or sautéed)
    1 cup Button mushrooms (a young unopened white mushroom)
    1 cup Shiitake mushrooms (a large, meaty, black or dark brown mushroom)
    
    *edit - adding a crushed clove of garlic to dry ingredients is optional....and also pretty good

    So do you slice up those mushrooms and if so how small?

    EDIT: Never mind-I can see them in the picture-looks great!

    We find you can do it any manner that you prefer.  We like thin sliced on steaks an a little more spoon size for a side dish.  After you ty it you'll have a better idea.

    We originally had this as a side dish at a local restaurant we went to for over 11 years the Springfield Grill in Boardman Ohio when it was run by our friend Michael Alberini.  When he left the new guy changed and reduced the menu.  My wife did our recipe to taste.

    This is basically a Bordelaise dish but we like it on the thicker side and like the three mushrooms rather than just buttons but you will see when you try it.  Like I said it's one of my favorites !  🙂

  • Tonight’s pregame meal.  A nice antipasto salad with an Italian sausage sandwich. Antipasto was fresh mozzarella, red onion, old world pepperoni, kalamatta olives and grape tomatoes tossed in olive oil and a touch of white wine vinegar ,lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Served on some romaine , yellow bell pepper and Parmesan. Sandwich is garlic chaffles, fried onion and peppers, Italian sausage patties, lots of mozzarella and marinara. Garnished with a little red bell pepper , olive bruschetta and a hot Calabrian pepper.GO BROWNS!!

  • Simple use of leftover beef tenderloin for gametime snacks....

    Sliced tenderloin, sliced cucumber, horseradish sauce, & slider buns. I used Woeber's bottled sauce & it was great.

    Today Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice with two Elgin Hot Sausages cut up, browned and thrown in the pot with rest. And the last of a nice Tempranillo from Spain to wash it down.

    When you are raised on the La. border of SE Texas, you got to love red beans and rice. Some Texas sausage made in Elgin, Tx. just E of Austin is a perfect compliment. And you can't go wrong with one of Nero's exports from his native soil.???

    PS-and did you know that the area around Beaumont is one of the largest rice growing regions in N. America?

    I was thinking about your grill when I saw his pictures.  Everybody that I know who has one loves them.  They lived next door to us and the parents moved down to Columbus to be near the kids and grandkids.  BIG Ohio State fans.

    ........oh I'll think about the menu.  Brats, sausage ? and sauerkraut is a good start.  Appetizers?  Side dish?  Grill stuff?  Good beer?
