Seahawks (4-4) vs. Cooking (Artery Clogging Fiesta)

(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.)

We are still on injured reserve with a pulled out of town.

Last Sunday Seattlest Courtney made us feel like Wally Pip, with her player of the week performance. This week Seattlest Seth will be taking the snaps.

We're going to be doing something different. Instead of cooking a San Francisco dish, we’re going to go with an Artery Clogging Fiesta. The idea came from Seth’s desire to make the dish that first got him in front of the stove—his macaroni and cheese with creamy tomato sauce.

When we were in college we would visit Seth in New York and he would prepare this meal. It blew our mind. "Mac and Cheese doesn’t have to come in a box…what the?!?!"

He will be joined by his girlfriend’s-friend’s-boyfriend, who will be preparing scotch eggs. We have no idea what these are, but since we’ve never heard the phrase "as skinny as a Scotsman," we can only assume that there is hot oil involved.

As for us, well, since we’ll be rushing back from Whidbey for the 5:30pm kickoff, we’ll probably stop off at Arby’s and bring back some of their 5 for $5 "meat" sandwiches. The last time we went to Arby’s was after a hike near North Bend. Our body disapproved, and for the next three weeks all of our bowel movements were dark purple.

We'll report back on Monday, and if you think you're so fucking great why not try and make your own artery clogging meal. Then we can all compare notes as our fathers smile approvingly.
