Chop You Low, From California....

[Joe Hadenuf]

It will be 79-82 degrees at game time, Raiders will kick butt, and we will be barbequing a six pound Tri-Tip, while watching another California team win the Championship, just like the Angels did in the World Series last year.

While the rest of the country is freezing their a$$es off, I'll be chipping balls, before game time.

You gotta love it.

See ye'all at game time....When the entire country becomes.........RAIDER NATION......

Too bad it wasn't the SF Giants in October, but at least we're on the same side when it comes to feetsball....

not exactly...
I hope you have a good party Joe, but....
GO BUCS!

Thank you for the heads up on the football game tomorrow but I don't watch other people play sports. I play them.

I'll be at the gun range if anyone is looking for me.

[umgud]

Oakland will be barbequeing too...........

My husband and I will be at the range as well, rather than watching the superbowl. It should be in the 60's tomorrow. :)

And we have no plans to go anywhere near Oakland tomorrow...

I have no interest in the football game ,...however I do in cooking a proper tri tip. PLEASE do not cut it open to tell if it is done. Poke it with your finger. The meat should have the same firmness as the little muscle that pops up next to your thumb when you squeeze you thumb agains your hand. Next seer the meat over high heat on all sides first. Then move to indirect heat. Remember the meat still cooks after you pull it off the grill so pull it early rather than late.
okay my secret... Cover liberally ( er bad word) with season salt and Montreal seasoning 2 or 3 hours before. Cut 6 to 8 cloves of garlic into sharp chunks push into meat.... Cook fat side up.
I know you didn't ask but It is sort of like not telling someone to be careful.... You just hate to regret not telling them if something bad happens... : ) have a nice day.

What does the rest of the country do with tri-tip? Grind it into hamburger?

[bigj00]

I hope the raiders kill the bucs!! But, I am NOT A FELON and therefore CANNOT BE A MEMBER OF THE raider nation.

Also, after the game I WILL NOT BE BURNING CARS AND LOOTING TO CELEBRATE!!!!

[Walkingfeather]

they boil it... : )

[chnsmok]

Thanks for no neener neener neener. Brrrrr.

[lainie]

No seriously.. I never even heard of the cut til I moved to CA. Is it available in the east and I just never noticed?

And our basketball team won the national champ., too! I was living in Los Angeles all last year while we won the basketball and baseball titles, and now could win the football title, too. It isn't cold everywhere, Joe. Here on the Texas Gulf Coast we have about 11 1/2 months of summer so we tend to really enjoy January when it is only 50-70 in the afternoon! I was using my airconditioner the other day. Finally got to have a fire in fireplace today. We don't get much cold, or even cool weather here. Used to be a swamp. Wetlands. Shhhhhh don't tell the enviromental wackos! They'll take it back. LOL Even have alligators. Biggest one in our neighborhood was 11 1/2 feet long and no I am not making it up. Smallest one in our neighborhood that has been spotted so far was 3 ft. long. They are rare, but we do see them from time to time. You are supposed to call the game warden. Alligators are endangered I suppose. I would shoot it and take the body in a pick up truck and dump it, if I had to.

I never heard of it till I moved to ventura county. It is actually just a maketing ploy by the meat distributors. They try to figure out new cuts of meat so that they can market it and the newest or latest. I am sure we grew up eatting "tri Tip" but it was just called something different. Still very good.

It's going to be in the forties and rainy tomorrow in Dallas.

No problem. As long as the river stays within the banks.

I never did understand this team sports business. I'm always amused when an out of shape guy claims his team won the game. His??
