It's Friday Night. Time to kick rev the party up a few notches. First you should fuel up though, don't want those Hurricanes pileling up in an empty stomach. How about something quick and easy. Did you know there were a lot of italians in New Orleans?
So while the world spins out of our control we still have to prep for Valentines day. This year the goal is to thwart traditional corporate interests, have a really kick-ass meal, impress the ladies, and get laid. Mmmm laid! We did shrimp 3 different ways for an appetizer, but just pick one style, we don't want to overwhelm anyone yet. When you bring the love start with shrimp, but end big! So now we need a salad and a pasta coarse to extend the experience as we work towards the finale. Que. up the tunes, lets cook.
Rock is tough for the love song business. The instruments tend to be twangy, and the energy level is more jackhammer than caress. Beatles rule though. There's not a jazz chanteuse that can touch this one with a ten foot pole. You'll want to hear from the ladies too, same time period so it blends nicely. The sixties, romantic in spite of themselves.
I hope that helps the folks that were gouging their eyes out over the Tchaikovsky. Actually I don't care. Try different stuff, you don't have to bungee jump to get out of your comfort zone. Like salads, who ever said they have to be a jumble of vegetables covered in dressing? I didn't, and neither should you. So we're going to make a composed salad because, well, because like I already said when it comes to romance time and care beat fast and sloppy 99 times out of 100. By the way if you are that 1 in a 100 girl that likes fast and sloppy give me a call.
Superbowl is coming tomorrow. Isn't it time to declare the Monday after a national holiday? We are a particularly argumentative people, wearing faux rebel gear, wrapped in the flag, and ready to exercise out 2nd amendment rights on anyone that disagrees with us, I say any event that we can all agree on should become some sort of national celebration. We need to wallow in our common ground. Besides do we really benefit from 60 or 70 million hung-over people showing up for work on Monday? I didn't think so.
Now being the chippy jack-offs that we are ( that's us boys) you know you can't possibly enjoy the Super Bowl unless you have a team to root for. That's tough for this Super Bowl. Pittsburgh is the 24th biggest television market in the country and I think they only have etch-a-sketch in Green Bay. Looks like we are going to have to trump up some false rage to get this party started on the right foot (yes ladies, I know you don't have to hate on someone to watch a game, that's why you are sometimes better than us, but that's also why you are going to be in the kitchen most of the evening chatting and waiting for the commercials to come on).
Now it is just my opinion, but Pittsburgh has Rothlesburger which gives them a head start on the villein thing. (you might want to watch this ladies and join the hate; blame the victim much?)
In fact the Steelers pretty much win this one outright, but in the interest of being fair and balanced we will at least try to hate on the Packers.
Now a lot of you young-ins are thinking..."What's the big deal?" but I promise you that every old school coach in this country, and is there any other kind of coach?, was throwing things at the television when this self-involved nitwit started celebrating before he was in the end zone. Belichek and Ryan in the same room would both be throwing the same things at the screen. Why?
That's why. You should be impressed with yourself after you do something great, not before. We aren't going to get into a meta discussion on why we are going to hell in a hand basket, at least not today, so the sexual predator beats the happy buffoon for todays target. I say "Go Packers!"
We already whipped up some wings this week. Good Super Bowl food. If it's going to be a party though we need something more for the buffet. Start with chips, spring for the good stuff (my personal favorite is salt and pepper). Add some shrimp, a couple of dips, a vegetable plate (blanch the broccoli), it's all good, but you want something a little more substantial. How about this?
