Augie Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 My favorite sports day of the year used to be AFC/NCF Championship day. Less hype, more football and a better chance to get at least one good game. PLUS, a client/friend used to throw an incredible bash! In addition to the game day typical fare, he'd have endless supplies of snow crab and oysters prepared various ways. We lived in Hilton Head, SC so it seeemd appropriate....and it was GLORIOUS!

CommonCents Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wait, which is it? Homemade ravs, or is the bakery hand-making them? Not being uppity, just curious, since I haven't attempted homemade ravs since my mom passed 3-1/2 years ago. Not because I'm sad or traumatized or anything, but simply because it's so time-consuming even with the guidance of a master rav-maker. Though I do still have a bag of 100% duram semolina flour in the freezer... Also, do you blanch/bake or just bake? I used to blanch them, but mom smacked me around one year and made it quite clear to me: bake only. Sure, they suck up about 2x as much sauce, but the texture comes out an absolutely perfect al dente that I simply cannot reproduce by blanching. Well it's a local bakery that makes them, they charge a decent coin but they are well worth it. Haven't picked any up in awhile so it's something I'm looking forward too. I have never tried making them myself so I certainly worded that incorrectly. We just always say lets go pick up some "homemade" ones, like that makes any sense! The sauce is definelty made by me though and we usually boil the ravs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Salad just found out I'm diabetic fun is over. My wife recently "discovered" that she has sensitivities to gluten and dairy, and has cut both out of her diet. Which of course means that they are pretty much cut out of my diet as well. Two of my favorite things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 i have never had those. Might just give them a try. Now does celery and carrots in the soup and celery in the lobster rolls count for anything? Actually, I realize that I was "that guy" regarding this subject. I believe, honestly, that potato chips and corn chips will qualify in this case. If you want bonus vegetables, then go with onion dip and salsa.

Mrs. Bandit is actually sensitive to both as well--I, obviously, am not. However, I try not to eat that stuff around her, even though she's pretty cool about it. Good news is that we have enough food around that she enjoys, so she usually doesn't feel like she's missing out on anything. She's moved from bread/baked goods to super-dark chocolate, and when she does have dairy it's typically almond or coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really hard thing for me is no pizza. I really miss the occasional friday night pie, and I wouldn't dare eat it in front of her. We went to a burger joint in Burlington last weekend with a bunch of hockey families after my son's game, and it was sad watching my wife eat her cheeseless meat patties with a knife and fork.

We don't do pizza often either...it's basically everything she shouldn't have. I'll occasion to do a meat-crusted pizza, basically a meatloaf style recipe baked in the oven with pizza sauce on top. It does the job if we're craving pizza. Now, on the nights that Mrs. Bandit goes to her mom meetings, the boys and I will indulge on our own, and its spectacular. The other one that stinks is no ice cream, but there are plenty of good substitutes for that now. Fortunately Mrs. Bandit legitimately loves salads, so those are always an option.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Celiac is a racket I have been doing research, and there seems to be a legitimate biological etiology to Celiac Disease. Care to elaborate? Sorry for hijacking the SB food thread, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Celiac is a racket Not to the 10% of the population that actually have issues. Of course, Mrs. Bandit isn't celiac, but we have most definitely noticed that she has certain autoimmune responses to gluten and dairy. When she doesn't eat them, those reactions go away. Call it what you like, but as folks that are quite health-conscious and natural skeptics of nutritional alarmism, we've found something that works.

Seasons1992 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I watch with one friend, and we make food that's "native" to where the game is being held. We started doing that for the SF-BAL game in New Orleans (hand-deveining Gulf shrimp for po' boys was NOT cool). Last year was sushi/sashimi for the game in SF. This year is BBQ; ribs in the slow cooker for 8 hours, then broiled to finish. Cornbread.
