Well folks, today it is the BROWNS vs the Atlanta Falcons up at Cleveland Browns Stadium. I'll have to catch the game on satellite radio but lookin forward to a REAL BIRD ROAST today.
Wolfgang Hank’s…Pumpkin Pie Season is here.
My goodness, Pumpkin Pie season is coming up here (starts in October and goes till Christmas). So its time to dig up those nifty pumpkin pie recipes (and buy up those pre-made pie crusts) to make pumpkin pies.
And I always use REAL whipped cream for the toppings.
Wonder if Wolfgang has a pumpkin pie recipie I could try this year.
Wolfgang Hank’s Smoked Salmon Pizzas, a rousing success.
Well folks, I made TWO smoked salmon pizzas, one that followed Wolfgang Puck’s recipe, the other was a offshoot of a Wolfgang puck pizza recipe that turned out delicious.
First, Wolfgang Puck’s recipe for smoked salmon/ dill cream pizza.
- 6 6 6ounces OUNCE_Pizza Dough (see separate recipe)
- 1 1 1tablespoon TABLESPOON Chili and Garlic Oil (see Sauces & Dressings)
- 1/4 .25 .25cup CUP_USVolumethinly sliced red onion
- 2 2 2tablespoons TABLESPOON Dill Cream (see Sauces & Dressings)
- 2 1/2 2.5 2.5ounces OUNCE_thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 1 1 1teaspoon TEASPOON_chopped fresh chives.
Now the Wolfgang Puck inspired recipe for a tomato pesto, smoked salmon pizza:
- 6 6 6ounces OUNCE_Pizza Dough (see separate recipe)
- 1 1 1tablespoon TABLESPOON Chili and Garlic Oil (see Sauces & Dressings)
- 1/4 .25 .25cup CUP_USVolumethinly sliced red onion.
- ½ cup of fresh portabello mushrooms.
- 1 small jar Classico Tomato pesto (you can substitute your favorite pizza sauce but the pesto really makes this pizza)
- 2 1/2 2.5 2.5ounces OUNCE_thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 1 1 1teaspoon TEASPOON_chopped fresh chives.
Countdown, 43 Days until BROWNS vs. JAGUARS.
OK folks, the NFL game I’ll be going to on November 21st, BROWNS vs Jaguars. Hopefully both teams will bring a winning record to the game and make it one worth watching. Got 8 tickets to the game (bought on NFL Ticket Exchange) and looks like we’ll have quite a group there. Last time in 2008, I had four tickets when my mother, Kyrsten, Gigi and myself all went to the game. This year add Mommy Tina, Laci (hopefully at age 6 ½ she’ll get something out of the game) and our neighbor Leslie with her friend Charly.
Now I had to wonder a bit about Leslie (a very beautiful 16 year old girl) sudden interest in Jaguars football. Then it occurred to me, that game might be Military Appreciation Day. And of course Jacksonville is a big military town and quite a few military folks from the local bases will make it to the game.
Including (and this is key) a large number of young (18-20 y/o), handsome U.S. Navy Sailors and U.S. Marines. Which now explains Leslie’s interest. Oh my!!!!
Well you can’t fight romance now can we? And look at it this way, these accomplished guys, heroes of our country are the kind of young men I would want my daughter interested in.
A lot better than say some teenage horn-dogs at their high school.
