Today was done right. Recipes to follow but I am too stuffed to write all this out right now. Just wanted to give an overview of the day.  The day was intended to be the “game” game where we eat wild game and watch the game but deep fryer interests took over. 

Breakfast:
3 cups of Coffee with Irish Creme
3 pancakes drowned in syrup

Rest of Day (it was non stop eating)
2 smoked quail wrapped in bacon
2 duck breasts smoked and wrapped in bacon
1/4 smoked pheasant
1 lb of elk roast marinated in red wine, whiskey, and Worcestershire sauce
5 deep fried oreos
2 deep fried pickles
onion rings dipped in ranch
blue cheese
Spinach dip with Triscuits
Chips with ranch dip
3 sodas
Sausage Queso Dip
Goat Cheese
Deep fried Peach
Deep fried bananas covered in Chocolate Sauce

And the kicker – Deep fried peanut butter, jelly, marshmallow, and reese’s pieces sandwich covered in pancake batter, then topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and chocolate syrup. It was really Good.  I wish I had the calorie count for this day.  The goose I have marinating never made it to the grill like it was suppose too.  Anyone want to guess what I am having for dinner tomorrow night?

On Saturday my friend Chris and I were going to enter the Snowdown Chili Cook Off.  We decided last minute that spending the kind of time and money on the ingredients to make the chilis and hanging around with people that we do not know was not a good use of resources.  So…..We created an event of our own.  We did the first annual skeet shoot off and chili competition.  We had six entries show up for the clay competition and we had 5 entries for chili.  We went through cases of wine and beer as well as had a blast shooting not necessarily in that order.  I say this is an annual event but it is going to be more like a bi-monthly event as we all decided a year would be to long before doing this again. 

Sunday was the Super Bowl as many of our readers should already have known and that means more food and more drinks. Again we hung out with close friends and ate a ton of food.  On the menu was smoked ribs and sausage as well as blackened cajun shrimp.  There was also a ton of other food to speak of.  I really can’t belive that Pittsburg did not cover the line but then again, Arizona has been killing many gamblers this post season.

I love the creativity and the desire to push the limits.  At the same time, because I am often referred to as “One of the most competitive people they have ever known” I am upset that I did not think of that first.   Either way.  BBQ Addicts is a great site and I am sure our paths will cross one day.  Maybe we can combine a preperation of the Bacon Explosion on the top of Denali or something.  Hmmm.

The second article that was sent to me was about the ultimate super bowl snack.  http://www.holytaco.com/ultimate-super-bowl-snack-stadium.  Thanks Tim for the link.  I love the idea. I am not sure about the Twinkies but then again, this is highly creative and something to be built upon.  I am going to toss this around for the next day or so and see what I can do.  As your standard “sports junkie”  I will be attending a Super Bowl party as well.  I am thinking of an Atkins version of this or maybe something slightly less greasy.  As many of my friends know, I don’t like to mix my sweets with my savories but lets see what we can do.  What do you think?

Another NFL season is coming to a close and as sad as that is, I thought it would be fitting to have another get together with friends, drink, eat, and watch the games.  Although the games did not turn out at all like I thought, they did get pretty intersting and were hard hitting.  By the end of the first game, everyone who attended was absolutely stuffed.  Here is the menu:

Spinach Artichoke Dip
Pepperoni, sauage, and steak bread stuffed with three cheeses and jalepenos
Beef Tacos
Asian Marinade Chicken with Cole Slaw
Shrimp Cocktail with Miss Anna’s Sweet and Sassy Sauce

 Drinks:
Ska True Blonde Ale
Ska ESB Ale
Tequila shots (Even when teams we were rooting for were losing)
