Asteroid to pass dangerously close to earth Sunday; What is your last football meal on Sunday?

[landroverking]

Wild game Elk & Whitetail. Lots of red wine, followed by Lobo Negro.

 

[Doomsday101]

Be serious!
Game day menu?

I don't eat before the game, stomach is in knots so I tend to eat after the game. The meal will taste great with a win and suck if they lose no matter what is being served and if the asteroid hits I guess I will not be eating at all that day.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

I once roasted mein own in my backyard and then peeled them. And didn't wear gloves . . . You should half hear the screaming from the outhouse.

gloves and popsicles are a must,,, and don't lean up against the counter while you're peeling

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Pan frying my last package of crappie with some fried okra and a cucumber tomato salad from my garden.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Asteroid better not mess up TV reception.

Aside from that, my abode will be redolent with the aroma of mein game day feast:

Brisket (take-out) with lots of fat as I willl request and wrapped by white bread (what the hey, the asteroid/49 apocaipse and all)
German potato salad
German chocolate cake
Fresh onions, jalapenos and assorted veggies and kettle-type potato chips
Beer and wine and more beer
(pls no one come to mein door because we only half enough for me, Ms. Busty and the neighbors and the cousin who could reveal . . . sensitive detials.)

Gift gimme your game-day meal plans!!! Don't wait until Sunday, with the asteroid hurtling our way and such!!!

Keep the paddles charged.

I appreciate the advice but you are about two decades too late. My screaming that day is the stuff of legend in the fam now and even the asteroid won't make me scream that much.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Keep the paddles charged.

you just made Ms. Busty smile. heh. thx

 

[DFWJC]

Jalapeno jerk chicken wings/drums for appetizers
chips and queso and various salsas

Bone-in Rib Eye off the grill
assorted veggie off the grill

Lots of cold beverages

Can't wait!

A small asteroid, designated 2014 RC, will safely pass very close to Earth on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014. At the time of closest approach, based on current calculations to be about 2:18 p.m. EDT (11:18 a.m. PDT / 18:18 UTC), the asteroid will be roughly over New Zealand. From its reflected brightness, astronomers estimate that the asteroid is about 60 feet (20 meters) in size.

Asteroid 2014 RC was initially discovered on the night of August 31 by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona, and independently detected the next night by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope, located on the summit of Haleakal? on Maui, Hawaii. Both reported their observations to the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Additional follow-up observations by the Catalina Sky Survey and the University of Hawaii 88-inch (2.2-meter) telescope on Mauna Kea confirmed the orbit of 2014 RC.

At the time of closest approach, 2014 RC will be approximately one-tenth the distance from the center of Earth to the moon, or about 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers). The asteroid's apparent magnitude at that time will be about 11.5, rendering it unobservable to the unaided eye. However, amateur astronomers with small telescopes might glimpse the fast-moving appearance of this near-Earth asteroid.

The asteroid will pass below Earth and the geosynchronous ring of communications and weather satellites orbiting about 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) above our planet's surface. While this celestial object does not appear to pose any threat to Earth or satellites, its close approach creates a unique opportunity for researchers to observe and learn more about asteroids.

While 2014 RC will not impact Earth, its orbit will bring it back to our planet's neighborhood in the future. The asteroid's future motion will be closely monitored, but no future threatening Earth encounters have been identified.

of course they say safely pass very close, if they admit it is going to slam into us their would be riots in the streets and looting, even me. lol

No, I don't think they do. These are crappie I caught this spring and I'm down to my last package in the freezer. I had 7 quart zip locks of assorted crappie and perch in my freezer after spring and have finally worked my way through them. Time to go fishing again.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

when the asteroid strike, my last words will be . . . "WoodysGirl . . . " and "must half Busch beer . . . " and if i half time, "rosebud."

Mine will probably be " I hate Jerry Jones"

Someone should start a recipe thread. I'm sure there a ton of awesome recipes you guys could share.

Nice.

I have never liked the term dangerously close when it comes to asteroids. It is either dangerous or it is not. Being close doesn't matter. Getting hit matters.

What the hecks with all the veggies people, this is football.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Anything pork (on the real a pork roast this Sunday), macaroni and cheese, my aunts famous greens, sweet potatoes, corn bread and courvoisier. I always have a feast on opening day.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Most likely 1 1/2" thick bacon wrapped (sorry, Jobb....I can't help it!!) filets cooked low and slow to 135 internal, and then seared at 600 degrees for 60-90 seconds a side, foil wrapped and set aside while the prosciutto wrapped asparagus, fresh silver queen corn, and sweet potatoes finish up on the Big Green Egg.
For dessert, I'd thought about cling free peach halves (from SC) baked on the egg at 500 degrees, until the brown sugar/pecan/butter mixture carmelizes on top....served with Blue Bell vanilla "sugar free" ice cream.....have to offset the brown sugar somehow, or my blood sugar will certainly spike!!

Blue Bell is the best ice cream in the history of the world.

You don't really know people until you have a meal with them.
