HIT BY SPIKES

I guess everyone is still full from Monday Night. Fair enough.

I am still working through the left overs from the MNF game but eventually the focus needs to be on Baltimore. Can't really source Blue Crab up here at any reasonable cost. Pit Beef is certainly doable => Pit beef is a beef roast that is cooked over hot charcoal and then sliced paper-thin. It’s stacked on a roll, typically with onion, horseradish, and barbecue sauce. The iconic pit beef is grilled in many ways, from using wood-flavored barbecues, spicy sauces, or dry rubs. https://www.koonsclarksvillechevybuickgmc.com/blogs/4775/7-iconic-foods-from-baltimore I haven't used the meat slicer for a while so it will be refreshing to slice the roast "paper-thin". So my early thoughts are to make my Garlic Butter Stuffed with Crab Giant Mushrooms as an appetizer and Pit Beef Sandwiches. Any ideas?

This may be one of THE best meals I ever made. The wings are outstanding. I gave each wing a good shake before I put it on the grill and kept all the marinate. Put it in my blender for a minute and used it to brush the wings liberally after they were almost cooked on the grill for another 5 minutes on each side. Caramelized real nice. The shrimp I marinated this morning in fresh lemon and lime juice, some spices and some Frank's. Threw them in once the grits/polenta was done and stirred themin. The heat of the grits/polenta cooked the raw shrimp. Very yummy. Finally I found some 50% discounted Buffalo Steaks on Saturday Morning and marinated them in no salt steak spice, lemon juice and olive oil. Seared them at 600F and they were so tender. Plenty of left overs so the family, friends and I will be eating very well this week.

I would love to Duke however I simply don't know how to post photos here. Any assistance and I would gladly do it.

I can go either way. The Sunday Afternoon games tend to be festive with plenty of food so I enjoy watching the Bills game with friends. Thursday Night, Sunday Night and Monday Night games I tend to watch alone since even though I plan to have a nap in the Afternoon if I have a very physical day on the property, I might start fading in the 2nd quarter and prefer to watch the game in bed.

Hang in there brethren. Life will get better starting with tonight when the Bills win to start the season at 3-0. Plus unlike me, you won't have Bum Bum Burning on Tuesday Morning from this super hot looking Jacksonville Korean Chicken Wings.

A crockpot is always a good idea but it is typically for colder weather and tomorrow night should be beautiful in OP unless it rains. Wait...Is the forecast for rain? Crockpot Soup would work then. Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup always goes over well.

SPAM can be grilled on the BBQ. I don't do it because I am NOT a peasant however it can be done.

Spray with cooking spray. Then no problem

The redness of this chicken wing marinate has my butt hole already nervous in anticipation. I may need Thought & Prayers over here Bills Brethren.

I have got some hot sauce. Should I make this grits/coarse polenta with water or milk?

7 lbs of fresh whole chicken wings now marinating at the back of the fridge marinating until Monday in that Korean Kimchi Wing Sauce. NOT going to fry them. Going to grill or smoke them on the Big Green Egg. Fresh raw shrimp acquired for the Shrimp and Grits.

Kool!!!

The menu is coming into focus. Grits with Shrimp Northern Italian Stylee and Jacksonville Kimchi Butter Grilled Chicken Wings… https://www.afamilyfeast.com/korean-style-kimchi-gochujang-chicken-wings/

Thank you brethren. I have NOT even seen that brand in Canada. Found this.... Are polenta and grits the same thing? Since polenta and grits are both made from ground corn, you can use them interchangeably. Bear in mind that grits are higher in starch than polenta, so if you sub in polenta for grits, you won't have to stir it as frequently, but it won't cook up as creamy as grits. https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/packages/food-network-essentials/grits-vs-polenta

Oh man...You Americans are so lucky. Good point. However, I believe it is proper feline behaviour norm to stoop when using the cat litter box.

So I looked for grit meal and although we have plenty of polenta in my area, grit meal is much more difficult to find. Found this but it will take an hour out of my day driving to and from the store to buy it.... Question -- I notice that the labelling says "also known as polenta" (I am going to make Shrimp and Grits as a side dish)...Do you think I can get away with using course polenta?

I have one 5 blocks from me however they are so expensive. Great quality but big Canadian Dollars.

Ill-Tempered Poutine?

Camel Riders sounds interesting and certainly easy to source all the ingredients in the Arab Community here in my city... Jacksonville's 6 most distinctive foods From neighborhood joints to gourmet cuisine to home-cooked specialties, Jacksonville has no shortage of great food. Here's a look at six of the most distinctive foods to come out of the First Coast. .... Camel riders Camel riders are Jacksonville’s signature sandwich, and probably the city’s single most distinctive food. A creation of Jacksonville’s large and vibrant Arab American community, camel riders are a pita stuffed with ham, salami, bologna and sandwich fixings, the perfect cheap, tasty meal for working people on the go. Jacksonville’s Arab community dates back to the 1890s, and has been influential in all parts of life, from business to politics to healthcare, but Arabs have been especially influential in the local food and restaurant scene. The camel rider’s origin is debated, but it’s often traced to Joe Assi, a Lebanese-born baker who owned the Gold Room restaurant in the early 1960s. Assi started selling a cold-cuts sandwich in pita bread that he ultimately named the “desert rider.” By the mid-1970s, riders had spread across Jacksonville at eateries like the Sheik, Desert Rider and Pinegrove Market and Deli. The spread of riders has led to the creation of several variations, of which the most popular include the veggie rider, the steak-in-a-sack and my personal favorite, the garlic shrimp rider. While riders can be found in some other cities, only Jacksonville can boast them in concentration; today the city is home to at least 50 eateries that serve them. Riders are a true Jacksonville culinary staple and one of the many legacies of the city’s thriving Arab American community.... https://www.thejaxsonmag.com/article/jacksonvilles-6-most-distinctive-foods/

It is a night game so a slow smoke works well timing wise. I have never been to Jacksonville so I am unfamiliar what the city's signature cuisine is. I can't really source alligator up here and if I find it the quality won't be good. Certainly NOT fresh. Thoughts?

So Groot had 52 snaps AJ Epenesa had 50 snaps Von had 29 snaps From my recollection, Von's first snap was late in the 1st quarter. It wasn't until the Bills had a sizeable lead did Von's snap count increase dramatically. I understand that the Bills are using Von strictly as a pass rushing specialist however I would hope that as the season develops that Von gets more snaps when the score in the game is in doubt.

Thank you sir!!!

Anyone have the snap counts to last night's game?

Oh come on.
