Much better game tonight, despite that third quarter Commanders drive narrated by the Cheeto in Chief.

This week’s recipe comes from the Commander’s NFL partner, the United Arab Emirates - Kabsa, an amazingly spiced rice and chicken dish, topped with toasted golden raisins, almonds, and pine nuts.

Whelp. I hated THAT game.

Dinner was delicious though - hailing from the NFL partner of the week, Brazil, we’re enjoying a black bean stew called Feijoada. I don’t want to repeat that game, but I think this will be a recipe that I repeat.

I’m a slut for fall beans

Our Lions game dinner this week hails from Switzerland - älpermagronen. This recipe is an upscale version of a comfort dish my mom used to make when i was a kid - noodles and cubed potatoes in a Gruyère cream sauce, covered in caramelized onions and lardons, with a scratch made tart applesauce.

This week’s NFL International partner for the Lions/Chiefs debacle was Mexico, so I finally got to try my hand at Birria de Res. I was actually impressed at both how hard I nailed this recipe AND how not a single offensive hold was called in the Chiefs during the game.

“Excuse me do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Beezus Christ?”

Love watching two cat teams duke it out - the Bengals sure tried their best. BUT we tried just a little bit harder.
Today’s international NFL partner was Canada, so we made a batch of poutine and butter tarts. It felt like I went a little too easy but man was this delicious. Good game, cat teams!

Did we get stressed today? Yes. Until Khalif Raymond saved the day. Do we need a three score lead to not be anxious? Also yes.

This week’s international NFL partner is Nigeria, and one of my most involved recipes yet - Jollof Rice and Dodo. Absolutely delicious and a total blast to make.

Literally on the edge of our seats for last night’s game against the Ravens. But staying up late was worth it!

This week we visited the UK, and made a full English breakfast. So much fun to cook but waaaay too much food.

It’s Paella Time! And also time for another victory against the Bears. I will forever pray for their downfall.

Week two (Spain): Paella Mixta with chicken thighs, pork tenderloin, and shrimp. Bonus points for saffron and garlic from my garden.

It’s great fun! The first year I did just a regional meal for the opponent’s home city. The second year was a specialty sandwich for each opponent’s city. It’s a fun way to get creative and ease that game day anxiety!

Next week is Spain! I’m already mentally prepping a Paella about it 😆

Detroit Lions football game day tradition: themed meals. This year’s theme is making a meal from whatever country the opponent’s team has been assigned through the NFL Global Market program.

This week (vs. the Packers) took us to Ireland for coddle and soda bread. Tasty meal, awful game.

Yeah that’s my emotional support Costco sized bottle of Ibuprofen thanks for noticing

Bittersweet concert vibes from Friday - my first time seeing Murder by Death live was on their farewell tour.

Just had to shake my arm a whole bunch because a little piece of prosciutto went down my sleeve.

Naming my first batch of chickens: Well thought out, sweet, and thematic

Naming the current batch: Yeah this one totally looks like a Sleve McDichael hell yeah

Ahh oh no my hand slipped

Okay but picture this being gloomy in October and that’s where my wedding will be

One of my neighbors mowed my yard and I want to go knock on every door and ask ‘Are you mad at me?’ to find out who did it

Passed by a coyote that was wandering around in a closed down Mexican restaurant parking lot this morning on my way to work. This is not the omen I expected but it shall be the omen I recieve

Just moved half a ton of dirt with a hand trowel and a bucket because I am NOT a smart person

Just a boy and a bingus

What if we were just two little taxidermy guys

A tale of two goobers on a double vacation: first to Amish country for a taxidermy auction and then to Milwaukee for Adepticon.

It was absolutely wild - they just opened four totes of unopened GW paints and told us to go wild. I absolutely did.
