There is a wonderful meal to recount, but I’ll defer to the more topical subject of a football game today:

Super Bowl Day at the Digs:

Team breakfast: Fried eggs with mimosas and Lattes

Conditioning – prep food, cook proteins and sample wines.

Pre Game Warm Up – Mixed nuts, Chips with French Onion Dip; Cheetos Corn Curls (requisite orange food)

First Quarter – Artisan Gouda Cheese with crispy crackers; thinly sliced Herbes de Provence Hard Salami

Second Quarter – Chilled Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce; Homemade Pimento cheese on Pumpernickel

Half Time – Clear used plates, prepare third quarter dishes, check scores against (recreational purposes only) football pool…watch commercials and not the Black Eyed Peas..

Third Quarter –Cold Herb Poached salmon with dilled mayonnaise; thinly sliced grilled strip steak with Horseradish sauce; assorted breads, roasted garlic/rosemary baby Yukon gold potatoes.

Fourth Quarter – MFO famous chocolate pie, freshly brewed coffee.

Post Game – Port Wine or Sauternes…
