And before you ask, no I don't watch very much football, I've just learned not to click on threads in which I have no interest.
Here’s something to enjoy New Year’s day while you’re watching the Bearcats beat the Gators, and/or while the Bengals are mowing everyone down in the playoffs. It also works served on a hot dog:

Hey...who peed in your Cheerios this morning?
“1/2 cup Texas Pete or to taste”
What is this?
“1/2 cup Texas Pete or to taste”
What is this?
Amen - craft brewed beer, 51” HDTV, College Football, and remote control. Piss break during commercials, but get back to the recliner before they return to the game ‘cuz that’s usually when they show the cheerleaders.
Duff Beer. Followed by a few dozen very dry martinis... 
three boxes of Cuban cigars and two quarts of LoneStarzoil 10W40!
I have a few dip recepies
I call this salsa “Charlie Crist”. Think about it for a while then the humor will come to you.
2 Ghost peppers,
One half of an onion
One habenero
One teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder
One tablespoon of chili powder.
Two Roma tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
And one bell pepper
Blend the ghost peppers and 3 tablespoons of water and the habenero until they turn into a puree.
Blend the rest of the ingredients until they’re of a chunky consistency.
Then mix the salsa and the puree together in a bowl and eat with your favorite chip.
TZN’s Caribbean Jerk pizza.
I call this TZN’s spicy Caribbean Jerk sauce. It’s because the pizza’s sauce, like me, is a spicy Caribbean jerk. ;)
It’s pretty simple, so I won’t post the ingredients. You just substitute marinara sauce and cheese for jerk sauce and put on whatever toppings you want to put on the sauce and the pizza. I prefer garbanzo beans and onions on mine. Before you go on some anti-vegan rant why I don’t suggest cheese on this pizza, try jerk sauce with mozerella cheese sometime. It’s worse than it sounds.
Brown rice and scallion congee.
This is also pretty simple. But since congee isn’t a western staple, I’ll give you the ingredients.
48 (Yes, 48!) cups of water
4 cups of rice
4 stalks of scallions
3 tablespoons of Chinese fermented beans
2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
Add favorite protein for preference.
You boil rice to a ratio of 12 cups of water to one cup of rice. If you’re going to fill yourself up, you would probably want to use 4 cups of rice and 48 cups of water.
After the rice starts getting into a Cream of Wheat type consistency, you throw the soy sauce, fermented beans, proteins and scallions in the congee. Add Chinese chili sauce for an extra spicy kick.
Garlic curry khomous (hummus)
1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (Crushed and pureed seseme seeds)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of curry powder.
Put all ingredients into blender and puree. Serve with tortilla chips, pita bread or flour tortillas in a wrap with your favorite protien and lettuce. I prefer mines with fava beans, hot sauce, pickled peppers, lettuce and rice in a pita sandwich. It’s my favorite pre-workout meal.
Gettin’ old, eh? ... 10W40!
A nice variation of that recipe is to melt velveeta and pour in one can of Rotel and one can of Turkey beanless Chili. Eat as a dip, with Fritos or blue corn hips. Wash down with ice cold Coronas laced with marguerita bar mix (non-alcohol) or Coronas laced with Bacardi Limon. After a few Coronas with Limon, the game can go either way, won’t matter.
Hmmm, ‘blue corn hips’ should be ‘blue corn chips’ ... relax, Bender, ‘blue corn hips’ is not a new Ladybot for you.
Just wow. They both work d*mn hard all year and you would begrudge them a little couch potato time together? Thankfully they don’t live with you.
