Seahawks (3-2) vs. Cooking (Jambalaya)
(This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs.)
New Orleans may be the American city best known for its cuisine. If you add, "and being wiped out by a hurricane" to that statement, well, then it's got to be number one.
Of the many dishes that we could have picked, we are going with jambalaya--mostly because gumbo doesn't rhyme with the greatest singing voice of the early nineties.
For a better understanding of jambalaya we talked to our friend who went to medical school at Tulane.
She claimed that the best jambalaya she ever had was made by her and some friends. When we implied that maybe she should have gotten off campus a little more and not completely wasted her time in New Orleans, she got mad and removed our tonsils.
We hope this won't affect our taste buds because of all the wonderful ingredients we get to add to this Creole dish--andouille sausage, peppers, onions, ham, cayenne pepper, the mouth-watering list goes on.
It seems like a wonderful bounce back meal from the 21-0 pounding by the bland pierogies.
It's going to be a delicious night of football, wouldn't you agree Peter King?
"In the hallowed 14-month NBC "Football Night in America" history, no game has stirred the passions like this one. Can we have a do-over on this one, commish? I mean, the Saints are a legitimate 0-4 bomb, and the Seahawks are the ugliest 3-2 team this side of Detroit."
Wow, he's right. We think we'll take his advice and skip this game. Anything else you wanna add Mr King?
"I could watch the Frank Caliendo stuff about a hundred more times. He's funnier today than Belushi was thirty years ago."
Forget what we just wrote. 5pm, NBC, the Seahawks and our jambalaya. On Monday we'll report back, and if you think you're so fucking great why not try and make the stuff as well. Then we can all compare notes as our fathers stare at us disapprovingly.
