HIT BY SPIKES

Southern Ontario

Plenty of rain here this weekend. Soup sounds warming and comforting.

Agreed. I just have too many leftovers to be ordering in anything yet.

Made a 4 deck Club House on huge slices of Calabrese Bread with PepperJack Cheese, Capon Breast, Smoked Ham, Bacon and Fried Sunny Side Up Eggs and Butter, Mayo, Honey Mustard and a Piri Cream. Didn't have any tomatoes or lettuce on hand. Only finished a third of it. Sooooooo many left overs to deal with here.

Need the mayo for that.

I would normally do something from the Sopranos like Baked Ziti however we have sooooooo many left overs from last night and today that given the game is likely meaningless I am going to rest my starting cookware. Going to bubble wrap the wooden spoons and leave the outdoor grill on the bench. I will just finish off what is left of The Feast of the Seven Fishes I made last night. I think the Octopus Stew will last that long and it is a huge batch. The wife roasted a 14 lb capon, stuffing and Shephed's Pie for lunch and there was a 12 lb smoked pork shoulder there for breakfast. No way that is finished by Sunday. I am thinking Club House Sandwiches and a nice bowl of the Octopus Stew. I made Fish Head Broth that I needed for some of the 7 dishes so a bowl of fish broth can quickly be turned into Pho or Tom Yum. So I best buckle down on the left overs so that there is room for the Sushi and Vietnamese Cold Rolls I will be making for New Year's Eve. . What's on your plate?

You too!!!

De-seeded and de-membraned some fresh jalapeños yesterday and stuffed them with creme cheese. I must have done a good job since there was NO significant damage this morning.

POLISH/UKE F A R T FUEL

We you had a breakfast of eggs & have been drinking hoppy high IBU beers we call that LOADING THE CANNON up here in Canada.

That is teamwork!!! Next Roast Beef Up

I ended grilling that beef steak on the natural gas grill and did a couple of big Russet Potatoes out there in foil. Carmellized 2 huge sweet onions slowly over 3 hours. Great meal. The dogs loved the beef rib bones.

I love that movie and will be making that unbelievable dish in January. I have always wanted to but it is a heavy heavy meal and need some BIG eaters at the table.

Excellent!!!

Someone should really point me to how to post photos here. I post photos of these meals on another site because it is simple. Put the Jamaican Tripe & Beans in my biggest sealed container I own to back of the fridge this morning when it cooled down from the crockpot heat. Can't really eat that 2 consecutive days if you want to stay married. Gave that beautiful Beef Rib Steak with Short Ribs I have been marinating a flip. Smells great. Not sure what I am going to do with it for game time tomorrow. The initial plan was to grill them on the Natural Gas Grill that is under the roof off the kitchen on the raised patio however this morning it is 3F and it is going to -10F overnight. Thinking of cast iron fajitas instead.

So beautiful!!!

IMMEDIATE TOXIC FLATULENCE

Nasty weather outside. Piping Hot & Spicy Tripe & Beans on White Rice inside

Got a BIG crockpot full of Jamaican Tripe & Beans cooking overnight to get me to Sunday's game in this snowy and then freezing weather.

That is why they are made out of tough porcelain -- American Standard.

I would NOT even feed that crap to my 3 dogs.

That recipe for the crust is interesting. A 48 -72 hour cold proof. Two separate high temp par-bakes. Then you put the ingredients on.

The picky kid I made the simple pizza with strained tomatoes and a ton of cheese pizza sheet loved it. The two other tomato base ones I made are heavy Mother Pluckers and I am still eating them. The wife stole some for her Staff Christmas Party. That pissed me off. I made the white one with that Sweet Onion Cream Mushroom Sauce I already had but added two bulbs of fried in butter garlic bulbs to it before food processing it again. Then I added the White Maitake Mushrooms, Fresh Purple Onions, Fresh Basil Leaves, Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese and thinly sliced Norwegian Smoked Salmon to it. It was most excellent!!!

Typically I am making New England Clam Chowder, Lobster Rolls and Baked Beans however Christmas Eve is 2 days after the game and I am making the Italian Tradition of the Feast of Seven Fishes. As such, I really don't have the refrigerator space, appetite or will to cook a big meal for this game. While procuring a huge capon for the wife's cooking of Christmas Dinner, I found a 3+ lb 1 & 1/2" thick beef steak with the short rib attached at a great price so I threw into an acid based marinate this morning and put it in the back of the fridge. I am still working my way through all that pizza from the Detroit game so I will grill that steak and eat it with a Caesar Salad in stomach prep for Tuesday and Wednesday's huge meals. The 3 dogs will appreciate the bones as well.

I would love to but don't know how. I took photos of the pizzas.
