All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I usually try to prepare something regional of one of the teams playing, ie. Green Bay/Brats, New Orleans/Gumbo, etc.
I don't really care for Carolina Mustard/Vinegar based BBQ, and Denver doesn't have any signature food (don't even think about Rocky Mountain Oysters) that I know of.
So, being the actual game is in California, I'll grill up some Santa Maria style Tri-Tip. Denver has a pretty good beer scene so I'll get some brews from Oskar Blue's to use as an excuse.
I make a California bastardization of a French Dip, I use tri-tip and an awesome local ciabatta bread from a local baker instead of baguette. I'll slather the ciabatta with plenty of horseradish, dip the rare slices of tri-tip into a pan of au jus and pile it on the bread. Then I top it with some arugula picked from the garden. It's my own signature sandwich, and it's soooooooo ****ing gooood!

Well, I bartered for a steer with the idea of having some steak subs, but he didn't like me getting him into the cellar much, so he has me trapped in my cellar apt after trampling my groceries in a rage. I'm thinking I'll order a pizza delivered to the other door. My lettuce, cheese and rolls are probably done for out there.
I'll call the police after the game and blame my employers for unsafe working conditions and loss of groceries, damn steer was fine until I rode him down the steps and closed the door. Uh oh, I hear yelling out there, forgot to tell the gf to use the other door...
Here's a recipe for baked wings - no pot of oil, no smelling up the house.
Set oven to 300 F.
Run wings under water to rinse, pat dry, then separate lowers and uppers and clip off tips with poultry shears and/or cleaver. Line a 12 by 18 inch baking pan (the ones with about a 1/2 inch raised lip - not a flat cookie sheet) with foil - heavy duty is preferable.
Place lowers in with the outside skin faced down in the pan. Uppers - place them "skin side" down. The idea is to minimize skin contact with the foil after a flip. Sprinkle a little paprika on them. Do not brush on any oil. After about a half hour, flip 'em over. Then turn the oven up to 400 and bake until you like the level of crispness. Do not move them to the oven broiler to crisp - these heated oil bombs will light up like a rocket...
Put them into a container with a lid to shake and coat them. I use Frank's hot sauce, a small pat of margarine, some paprika, tumeric, marjoram, tobasco, salt, and dried parsley flakes.
P.S. your oven may be different, so experiment with temps and times.
Here, strip steaks over charcoal...51 degrees and sunny tomorrow.
How 'bout you and yours?
Its sunny and nice, got the grill going, having a bunch of friends coming over soon. my wife has been cooking sides and prepping appetizers since church this morning. I get the fun of the grill, got a bunch of bone in ribeye steaks, shipped in the Sahlen's Hotdogs (wish i could get these locally) plenty of Andouille sausage; ground beef for hamburgers and some traditional bratz as well
In anticipation of a snoozer of a game I've been prepping the food and entertainment just in case.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
