The New Hampshire Governor’s Salad Primary

Let’s say you’re still sticking to your resolution of healthy eating, but you want a New Hampshire meal to dine on as you watch the primary coverage, well, here it is. The New Hampshire Governor’s salad.

It includes: pears (Josiah Bartlett, John H. Bartlett) bell peppers (Samuel Bell, John Bell), and blood oranges (Robert O. Blood), sprinkled with Colby cheese (Anthony Colby) and served with raspberry vinaigrette (Nathaniel S. Berry).

BCSEC

The BCS Championship game was in New Orleans and featured Louisiana State University, also Cajun food is much better than any type of Alabama meal, which is probably something like deep fried pigs feet.

We took andouille tukey sausage and cooked it with celery, green peppers, onions (the Cajun holy trinity) garlic, and sprinkled everything with cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme and oregano. Combined that with brown rice and for a final touch covered the whole thing with Crystal Hot Sauce.

On Saturday I tried to get an Alabama Slammer, I assumed it was a shot was whiskey and Southern Comfort. Turns out it’s Amaretto, Southern Comfort, Sloe gin, and orange juice, no wonder they are hard to find in the Northwest. We settled for this thing—rum, lime, mint leaves, orange juicesoda water, and muddled deep fried pigs feet.

Tebowing and Drinkowing

I don’t really care about Tim Tebow. However, my friend, a giant Broncos fan, has to. At first he hated him, now he loves him. On Sunday he had people over to watch the playoff game vs the Steelers, served Colorado Coors Light and the same vodka based Orange Crush drink sold at Mile High Stadium that gets Bronco fans Teebowing in their own urine.

Nalesniki 86, Huskies 80

It took me ever to master pancakes, so crepes without a crepe pan, it’s gonna take much longer.

Nalesniki are polish pancakes and since the Huskies had an early morning game against Duke and America’s favorite Polish basketball coach Mike “Krzyzewski” K, (sorry guys on far right and left. 17, are you even on the team?), I decided they would make the perfect breakfast.

Things started out fine, made the filling, got the strawberry jam, and then I went to flip the crepe and katastrofa.

Hats Can Be Food

I’m trying to branch out from just a guy who likes to match food with games, so the other night I went to watch the Huskies lose a stupid game to the University of Nevada-Reno wearing my Reno Rendering hat that I got from a friend whose family owns the animal and marine fats and oils rendering plant.

I don’t think there is help for what I have.

Seahawks 31, Philadelphia-Cheese-Italian-Sausage-Non-Steaks14

Before the Seahawks vs. Eagles Thursday night game I thought to myself Philadelphia cheesesteaks are so played out…how about Philadelphia-cheese-Italian-sausage-non-steaks…The trick is to hide your guests shoes and keys.

Houston's Cheese Enchiladas with Extra Cheese and Onions

This past week it was announced that the Houston Astros are moving to the AL West in 2013 and my first Husky game of the season was against Houston Baptist University (coming soon, accreditation!).


The Houston Chronicle’s Richard Justice has some words for those Astros fans upset by the move to the American League, “"You are fearful today because the American League is an unknown quantity. But you will love it. You will love it more than the cheese enchiladas with extra cheese and onions at Pappasito's.”

Also, he built the city out of his own children so I enjoyed some Sam Houston Whiskey. A brand so smooth it doesn’t even make the man’s Wikipedia page.

Thanksgiving Weekend 2011


For Thanksgiving I was put in charge of the green bean casserole…

Then I made a turkey and sausage loaf without anyone having to ask me, because that’s how I conduct business, son.

Later in the weekend it was the Apple Cup, so I soaked chicken apple sausages in apple juice before boiling them.

I also invented the perfect Apple Cup drink, the Rayn Leaf. Apple Cider and Dickle.
