A very happy game-day Thursday to all 12's everywhere, and welcome to the 2014/2015 NFL almost-season!
I woke up this morning with an attitude problem, my phone ringing, and a full bladder. I took care of two of them in short order, but the attitude just won't go away no matter how much coffee and Krispy Kremes I throw at it. It might have a lot to do with the fact I had a troublesome rear molar removed on Monday and my jaw still hurts from the pain shots. I never realized just how debilitating tooth pain can be. Damn, glad that deal is over.
This is the first of what will be 23 FB&J posts this year, and for those that are new to the site, welcome. Every game-day morning, I'll break down my magic, victory-clinching combos, and will give everyone a chance to share what they are eating, drinking, and wearing to root-on our beloved Hawks. Whether you are heading to the game, preparing to enjoy it at your favorite watering hole, or plopping down right in your own front room, we wanna hear about what you have going on, and what's going down the hatch. Remember, let's keep it as legal as the folks in the "lesser"-48 can go, k?
Don't be shy, let 'er rip, and remember, it is only weird if it doesn't work!
Here we go. This weeks combo is simple yet effective; Enjoy!
Food:
- Poached Atlantic salmon with citrus slices and a rosemary and dill treatment, with a nice moat of white wine and fresh real butter. Fresh garden salad with Italian dressing, and a nice blob of mustard potato salad. We are trying out a new Tuscan bread, and we'll see how that goes.
Beverage:
- A mixture of beers from the shop-fridge; MGD's, Stella, Heine, Fat Tire, 55's, a Lone Star or two, and I see a few Shiners waaaayyyyy in the back. I'll crack open the wine as the regular season gets going, but for now, beer.
Jersey:
- The same cheap, replica, too-big-for-me, Shaun Alexander away jersey I wore for the RoadHawks Texans game. That jersey, in all of it's lameness and inexpensiveness, is the cellar-dweller of my collection, but even the ugly ones need love too. Right? The good stuff doesn't come out until the games mean something more than evaluating players.
The first quarter should be exciting, for at least the first few series anyway, then it's "get out the notepad" time to keep track of who might be making this team. I know Kearly and Scotte will be glued to the screen doing the exact same thing, so I'm gonna try to keep up. I won't, but it's worth a try.
Have a safe and happy day wherever you are, and Go Hawks!!!
