It will be later in the Northeast so I am going to limit carbs and heavy grease. Going to go with some cured meat, fresh mozzarella, some stinky cheese, roasted sun dried peppers, and a few prosciutto stuffed cherry peppers.

The roasted sun dried peppers are amazing.

trying to decide right now if I should go to the store and get myself a monster fatty prime grade bone-in ribeye to grill tonight, or should I be more realistic and realize that I'll be drinking the entire game and won't want to be messing with a grill

takeout it is.

Supposed to hit upper 40s today. Going to fire up the WSM and smoke some chicken. Kids want mini wieners again, so I’ll probably cave and do that. Not really sure what else to be honest. Anyone got any ideas on what else to do for appetizers? I may smoke some eggs for egg salad since my ex hasn’t had it done that way. I am kind of out of ideas. Thoughts, anyone?

Going easy today. Having to work on the old septic tank. Normal rain fall in my area is 47.4 inches annually. As of Tuesday we are at 75.6 we can not flush now.:confused:

Anyway, Pork chops and mac and cheese. Beverage will be salted Carmel Crown with apple juice.

I had to replace the wax seal under my toilet last weekend. And yet your task seems to be a bit more evasive.

Who’s hungry?

Y'all need to double up on that cheese in your mac and dump those greens and slow the digestive system down. I'd be giving out the first Constipation Awards of 2019 to family members.

getting my hair cut in a little while, then doing my "chores" to clear away all obstacles before kickoff - I will be thinking about game day meal ALL DAY (oh, the pressure!)

I haven't had pizza in at least 6 to 8 months so today might be the day
(Mrs Pants and our daughter can't have it so I don't get it in front of them - gluten free and folic acid free people, try to find pizza with BOTH of those issues)
Does Mrs. Pants wear them in your family?

I haven't heard of the folic acid problem, is this the new one? I was expecting a new one.

wax seal isn't nothing as to what I'm into. Dug out the top of the tank. got the tank drained. Back hoe here now digging out the field. 12 tons of rocks going in this evening with new lines. Cover job and grass seed and straw tomorrow. 2500.00 dollars later.....done. Cowboys win...priceless!

Margaritas, heavy on the jalapeno juice, and Margarita shrimp tacos with pickled jicama and avocado/tomatillo salsa. Preceded by homemade pickled jalapenos stuffed with crunchy peanut butter. The combo of the spicy Marg and those peppers is better than popcorn and M&M's with the same dilemma, what to finish with? So, I'll finish with a proposition. Probably toss down a couple of Bohemia's or Pacifico's with the tacos.

And speaking of Mexican beer, and I was, how in the hell can the beer be so damn good and the water be so damn bad? They use up all the good water making beer? If they did, lovin' me some Mexicans.

Followed by LongBranch bourbon on the rocks and a fine hand rolled on the thighs of virgins Cuban Maduro on the patio.

Hitting 70 down here in the Hill Country today and the perfect time to be on the patio where my cussing can carry and parents are scurrying to get their little ones inside before ole CC's patented stringing a hell of a lot of cuss words together to form unintelligible sentences can take their toll on young minds.

Tomorrow is Women's (or Little) Christmas, so naturally that means my wife isn't doing squat all weekend. The only thing I'm half decent at is grilling, so I bought us some rib eye to go with a couple of baked potatoes. If she wants any weird green food, she's on her own.
Looks like it's going to be a great day for being outside.
Not here. It's cold with freezing rain.

yesterday we picked up a whole quarter Charolais. put a dry rub on it and hanged it in the walk in cooler overnight. then made the fire pit out of cinder block. this morning lit the fire with mesquite and charcoal. when fire burned down, we put the meat on a rack made up of #4 rebar, top and bottom, and placed it over the fire. been cooking since 4 a.m. should be done about 5 this afternoon. beef ribs, tomahawk steaks, etc. temps about 65 degrees today. great day to sit outside, tend the fire and drink lots of beer.
