NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.

Yesterday Julie and I went to the NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field.  To say the least it was amazing.  The first period was worth the (steep) price of admission.  The Blackhawks ended up falling to the Redwings 6-4.  The weather wasn’t unbearable and our seats were blocked from the wind.  We had a really good view of the entire ice and the seat next to us was empty.  The opening festivities were a little over the top (introducing Chicago Sports Legends twice) but once the game got going it was awesome.  The first period was pretty much non-stop action with a Detroit player getting upended into the Hawks bench.

Truly Classic.

After the game we rallied back at my place and deep fried a turkey (and grilled a pork loin).

Football is Upon Us.

All American: Jim Thorpe

The 138th Football Season begins tomorrow and kicks off in full force this weekend. As many will agree, it’s been way too long since the end of last year. My top five signs that Football is upon us (in no particular order):

  1. School supplies are on sale.
  2. Baseball is halfway through the season.
  3. Browns fans have come back to the annual realization that they have no chance of competing in the NFC North.
  4. I have read 5 different ‘Preseason’ College Football periodicals.
  5. Pork Loin is about to become a staple of my diet.

If for some unamerican reason you didn’t recognize the man above, he is Jim Thorpe. The greatest American athlete of all time. Any man who jukes the future Supreme Allied Commander and scores a touchdown will forever be known by me as the Greatest American Athlete of All Time.

First Pork Loin in 2 Years.

The GrillPork Loin.

Yesterday I decided to perform a test run with regards to grilling a pork loin.  Granted this was probably the first pork loin I’ve grilled in nearly two years I think it came out pretty well.  You can always do better but I think we had the right amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s, maybe the timing was off but all and all it was pretty damn good.
