HIT BY SPIKES

Looks beautiful!!!

Raven Wings I’ve seen a few interesting recipes for black chicken wings, including Martha Stewart’s “Bat Wings” and even a beautiful one with a pomegranate reduction. I love the drama added when you serve the whole wing instead of separating the pieces, but you could follow the same instructions regardless. I based this recipe on the Asian ingredients I happened to have on hand and it worked beautifully. The color is outstanding and sweet and spicy glaze makes these sticky wings pretty addictive. Say No More. Ingredients 8 whole chicken wings (tips included) 12 ounces low sodium soy sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup chopped scallions 2 tablespoons chili sesame oil (or plain sesame oil) 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste 1 inch piece of fresh ginger 1/4 cup Sriracha 2 tablespoons honey 4 drops blue food coloring https://food52.com/recipes/20630-raven-wings?srsltid=AfmBOoqPR6nVotM5bR-7SDk26UfIlHaZ8bCuQBfr5V2gruyRFRb9_g5U

CRAB CAKES it is!!! Bought enough ingredients this morning to make a bunch of them. Thinking of serving them as sliders like Filet-O-Fish with the tartar sauce and cheap processed cheese right next to a ton of Hot Buffalo Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip, Carrots and Celery and throw a bocce ball at whoever chooses the crab cakes over the chicken wings.

Huge game requiring a huge meal.

Opposite of Pit Beef would be something Vegan. Can't do that. Crab cakes and something non-beef can be done.

Thinking crab cakes this time as the appetizer. The Pit Beef I smoked in September ended up in a loss.

NOT making what I made last time. I saw some scrawny looking poultry at the Afghan butcher that I may be able to pass off as raven. What's on Your Plate?

Well. I know what I am NOT cooking for Sunday given the result of that game in Baltimore.

I go there every year for a month but NOT this year. I find it takes the next day for a few bottles of that to kick in.

Please wash that down with some high IBUs IPAs and eggs. LOAD THAT CANNON

No Sheep Testicles today.

I think Highland Packers which is about 6+ miles away from me does however it is snowing right now and that is a trip up the escarpment in my electric SmartCar so I will give it a pass tomorrow morning. I would want them tomorrow morning to get a 24+ hour marinate on them. If the snow stops at less than 3", I will go to an Afghan Butcher that is about 1+ miles from me when they open at 9:00 AM and are NOT busy yet. They often have Sheep Testicles at a reasonable price. You need to remove the membrane around them, cut them in half length-wise and marinate them for 24 hours. I have the cooking swords so if I can score some tomorrow, I will grill them just before game time on Sunday.

Going to mix it up for Sunday and drink my favourite Pinot Gris from Northern Italy rather than drinking IPAs.

My bar is one floor down from my kitchen in my ManCave however I like this idea of making a Denver omelette before starting to down IPAs before kick off.

Good to hear!!!

Yes you enter a draw for a specific area to get a tag for either a bull or a cow moose. Fun Fact: The plural of moose is moose.

Elk is a domesticated animal up here and is available at my local grocery store. It is expensive however if you get there when the store opens up, sometimes you get lucky and find it 50% discounted when it was full price the night before. There is a restaurant in Regina, Saskatchewan called The Diplomat that had elk steak on the menu when I was living there or visiting and I would always order it. I see it is NO longer on their menu anymore => https://thediplomatsteakhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/72094-Diplomat-Supper-Menus-8.5x11-web.pdf Moose is NOT a domesticated animal and thus cannot be purchased. My Late Father shot a handful of them over the years so I grew up eating it.

The last time I saw horse meat was at a Dutch deli. Apparently, the Dutch and the French love their horse meat. Personally, I prefer moose and the few times I tried horse meat I found it very grainy.

Love it!!! When I had season tickets and a couple games thereafter when the Eagles would come to Orchard Park, I would olive oil brush and bake in advance the largest fully intact turkey wings I could find for the tailgate. I would then grill at the tailgate on the old 20,000 BTU portable Weber two of those large turkey wings with the lid down after I sprinkled white feathers around and under the grill on the ground. As Eagles fans passed by our tailgate site I would open the lid to reveal those massive turkey wings and tell those walking by that they were Bald Eagle Wings. Then I would say I was Canadian and "are they they not legal to eat here in the US?". Never once arrested.

Well it is the BIG dinner finally. Here are is a City of Denver's Top 25 Most Iconic Dishes => https://denver.eater.com/maps/best-denver-foods-restaurant-dishes Rocky Mountain Oysters anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_oysters What's on Your Plate?

We don't need an elite D when we have an elite O however we got to have a D that get off the field to let our elite O take over.

I hope so. We need him in the game flow now for if we play the Ravens since we may need to score 40+ to win that game. The Broncos I am not concerned about. The Ravens scoring 35+ on our Defence I am concerned about.

Any idea what is going on with Amari Cooper? He may not be available for Sunday?
