Today’s Menu: Leftovers

IMG_4108.JPG

Meet Tom. Unlike all those people who call their Thanksgiving turkeys Tom without actually knowing its gender, we know for a fact that our Tom was a male, because he was a capon, which means he was male by definition. And he was every bit as delicious as he looks here.

Tom was the star attraction in a spread that also featured apple/cherry/walnut stuffing, port-braised onions (Kirsten’s idea — unbelievably good), cranberry relish, roasted root vegetables, and gravy. Plus Kirsten whipped some cream into a stick of butter and used the resulting buttermilk to make a swell batch of biscuits. For dessert we had an apple-cherry pie (better-looking than that photo indicates), plus I sliced some more apples, tossed them in some rendered capon fat, sugar, cinnamon, and Calvados, and baked them. Came out great, but we were too stuffed to do more than nibble at it.

And as a modest centerpiece, we had a sprig of parsley from Kirsten’s garden and a sprig of rosemary from mine. Isn’t that nice? Hope your day was just as fine as ours.

As for today: I’m not quite on board with the entire Buy Nothing Day agenda (how am I supposed to read all 37 of Ricko’s comments if I don’t turn on my computer?), but I agree with its general line of thought. Or to put it another way: Wouldn’t it be nice if you spent the day someplace other than the mall? Let some other clowns get trampled to death — it’s just natural selection, after all.

Uni Watch News Ticker: Here are the dates (and a good photo) for the Warriors’ throwbacks. ”¦ Two new killer tees from No Mas: 1970s Sport magazine and Wiffle Ball. ”¦ Reprinted from Wednesday’s comments: Check out Emporia State’s striped helmets from the 1990s. Never seen that type of pattern on a helmet before. ”¦ Throwbacks on tap for Dayton hoops (with thanks to Tom Hirt). ”¦ How is it possible that the Panthers’ team store in their own stadium has the wrong NFL logo? (As spotted by Frank Mercogliano.) ”¦ Very beautiful collection of typewriter ribbon tins here (thanks, Kirsten). ”¦ European hockey? Nope — it’s the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL (with thanks to Adam Walter). ”¦ This was supposedly Missouri’s first football squad. One of the uniforms survives to this day (with thanks to Kate Sutter). ”¦ The Harvard football stadium has a cool dedication (with thanks to Tris Wykes). … The Hawks debuted out their “ATL” alts last night.

    Is that a Sam Smith’s Oatmeal Stout on your table? If it is, good taste…I finally agree with you on something.

    Yes — my favorite beer.

    How come the ones who say they don’t agree with me on anything are always the ones making the first comments of the day?

    Oddly, as I key this—I have a Yankee capon. To add to the sad punnage—it is fittingly(!), the VA Tech Hokies/NYY cap.
    They have bicycle cops at the mall today. What a country…

    I’m a daily reader, not a frequent commenter. I’m your average light beer swilling, nike wearing fratboy type…but I love the site for the info on new stuff and really love Sam Smith’s. Don’t always agree with everyone I like.

    Paul – Your meals always look so wonderful! I expect they taste wonderful too. Any thoughts of a Uni Watch cookbook in the future?

    While the suckers shop I am going to the NY Historical Society today support the arts then I am eating leftovers.

    Not to get into a huge rant but Christmas is insane do you really need all that shit they’re selling does your kid really need that tickle me Elmo or whatever the hot new toy is and do you realllly need a 70 inch Sony plasma death ray TV?! This is why Thanksgiving is such a awesome holiday: No gifts, no cards, you eat and spend time with family and there’s always football lately it’s been shitty football but whatever.

    Wow…I didn’t know the NFL had altered their logo. But as i look at the new and old side-by-side…I like the old one.

    Or maybe it’s for John Madden?

    Was Easton/Philipsburg on TV this year? I know it’s been on ESPN in year’s past, but I didn’t turn from the Parade and I watched most of the dog show despite the first game starting.

    Seriously, could those three NFL games have been worse yesterday? Best game of the day was Texas/Texas A&M

    Samantha or Jeannie?
    “Less Filling!” or “Tastes Great!”?
    NY-style or Chicago-style? (pizza, that is)
    DH or no DH?

    Never have been, and never will be a Black Friday Shopper. I just don’t understand the dopes…er shoppers, who stand in line at 2AM to shop at 5AM for an item that a particular store may only have 3 of in stock.

    I was thinking about all the talk of Detroit having its Thanksgiving game taken away. Why don’t they just move the Lions game to the NFL network until the team improves? That way, Fox and CBS don’t have to worry about showing the damn game.

    (Would never forget that one)

    Paul, I am an Emporia State graduate, and the helmet design you showed in the Friday post is the helmet design that the team wore my freshman year (1998) it was replaced the next year. It doesn’t come across well in that photo of Brian Shay, but the striped pattern tapers to a point on the back of the helmet, it is supposed to emulate a stinger (Emporia State’s Mascot is the Hornet). At the time I hated the helmet design, but now I feel like at least it is unique, and I have a sentimental love of it.

    3. Money or people — people.

    5. Olberman or O’Reilly — neither, unless Bush is in office, in which case Olberman only as a sanity check (term used loosely).

    6. Beer, definitely (unless you’re in Little Italy and eating pasta, in which case both).

    7. Sarah Palin ONLY because she is hot (and not because her views are disagreeable, which they may or may not be, but only because she doesn’t do her homework, uses the dog-ate-my-homework excuse, and is full of herself).

    I’m not a big Lions fan, but that game is what I look forward to every Thanksgiving. I got over them leaving Tiger Stadium, but if they take away that game I’ll skip watching TV and play the Pack and Lions on electric football instead.

    There were years where the Lions had some pretty bad teams, but they still played an entertaining Thanksgiving Day game. A lot of years, that game is the only national exposure the Lions got.

    Don’t mess with the game. If the NFL’s that emabarrassed with having the first 0-16 team on TV, then schedule another game at the same time on NFL network – just leave my tradition alone.

    By the way, uni-wise the game still looked good. In a way, it was like a throwback game. They just threw back to the era when teams didn’t wear throwbacks…

    Amen Ricko,

    Look I live in the Detroit area and I am not a huge Lions fan (I have serious issues with the Fords running of the team) but it is a tradition in Detroit and taking it away from Detroit, especially with the problems Michigan is having would be tragic to the state. So often these days we get rid of traditon. Whatever happened to the Reds playing the very first game of the baseball season? Next thing you know the Maple Leafs won’t be on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night.

    There’s a story line worth following in just about any game. Just have to realize that, and look for it. Recently, of course, it’s been seeing how much damage the visitors can inflict on the Lions on Thanksgiving. Keep thinking of Peyton Manning and the Colts (in their mid-’50s throwbacks) lighting it up a few years. Was worth watching.

    And yesterday there were several things to look for…
    How good is Stafford (his first time on nat’l TV)?
    How well would he play hurt?
    Would winning a close one the Sunday before lift the Lions some?
    How good/bad are the Packers, what with their o-line problems and all? Sometimes you can tell a lot (tell more?) about a team by how they perform against a skunky team than against a good one.

    Yeah, banning the Lions would be like the Harlem Globetrotters refusing to play the Washington Generals.

    Just kidding, Lions fans.. hope that brighter days are coming.

    Sam Smith’s Oatmeal Stout is pretty good, but I prefer Founder’s Oatmeal Stout. It is brewed in Grand Rapids, MI (one of my favorite brewers for stouts)and I think is a better drink than Sam Smith.

    Also, if you get a chance, try Founder’s Kentucky Breakfast Stout and the Canadian Breakfast Stout. Wow.

    Here’s one choice I can make – Emporia State’s striped helmet: link or the current one: link
    Striped helmet all the way.

    I watched the ESPN 30 on 30 yesterday… it was great to see the USFL in all its glory again (the Dallas/Oakland was a bit boring).

    So we now have two teams wearing their airport designations, ATL and PHX. I wonder when Orlando will start wearing MCO.

    [quote comment=”363523″]Wow…I didn’t know the NFL had altered their logo. But as i look at the new and old side-by-side…I like the old one.[/quote]

    This post triggered me to do a bit of attic digging (along with the Xmas ornaments) as to exactly when the NFL did an ever so slight tweak of the shield back in the 80’s. What the NFL did to the shield was to shave off a very slight flair to the upper left and upper right tips of the points of the shield and thicken the blue outline to the lower half of the shield.

    I had originally thought it was in the laste 80’s (1987 or 1988 or so). I was wrong. If my Super Bowl programs are any proper indication, the wee tweak occurred in 1981. The SB XV prog (1980 season) shows the thin blue outlines NFL shield and the SB XVI prog (1981 season) shows the modified logo used thru 2007.

    I doubt that anyone gives an obese rodent’s rear about this, but here it is, for the record.

    The only one I have a strong opinion on is the pizza question. And I don’t even have a definitive answer for that one because it depends on where you are and whether you want a meal or a snack.

    And with few exceptions, you can’t get a decent pizza outside of those two towns (or their surrounding areas). You can get decent approximation but in the end, it’s just a pale impostor.

    There’s a reason that when the original Pizzeria Uno opened a second location down the street, they called it Pizzeria Due. It’s because there should only be one of them. The chain restaurants called “Uno Chicago Grill” should all be bulldozed.

    California Pizza Kitchen? They shouldn’t even be allowed to call that pizza. I’m not saying it’s not good. I’m just saying it isn’t pizza.

    On those new Atlanta Hawks alternates: WTH. Why is it that NBA jerseys have become so avant garde? That said, since the NBA has the smallest area front of a sports uniform, it makes sense to have as few letters as possible. Hence why I always thought “PHILA” worked. The Bulls alternates, “CHICAGO” is way too clunky & has double trim.

    quick (i think funny story) bout ‘black friday’

    16 years ago yesterday i got married, which was the day after thanksgiving (think the leon lett game — that was the year -1993)

    two of my groomsmen worked retail

    both of them told me, about 6 months in advance, that ‘the friday after thanksgiving is the biggest day of the year and we don’t know if we can get the day off — could you consider changing the date

    are you fucking kidding me?

    change the date of my wedding because of “black friday”?

    to this day (obviously, dont celebrate my anniversary anymore), i will NEVER set foot in a store on the day after thanksgiving

    biggest load of shit ever foisted upon us by the consumer industry…and i for one, will never take part in it

    holy mother of corn, what a long day/night. i hope eveyone had a gobble gobble of a turkey day, mine was long, and ended bourbon filled a twist of over indulgence. i need grease-spoon diner stat, but while i am eating, i will upload the video from the parade, from the time before i became a bumble-fumble mess. it was a blast. that’s pineapple and me.

    Thanks, Ryan. It’s actually a NEW Barbicide jar — or it was when I bought it about 15 years ago. King Research, which makes Barbicide, used to be based right here in Brooklyn (now they’re in Milwaukee), so I just went over there one day and bought a jar from them. Knew all along that I wanted to use it for pretzel rods, and that’s what I’ve done ever since.

    Yeah, Phil’s experience sucks, no doubt about it.

    But no one put a gun to consumers’ heads and forced them to head out the day after Thanksgiving, long ago making it the busiest shopping day of the year.

    Retailers are simply maximizing the snot out of it. And they probably should. As we all know, for many of them, small AND large, November-December makes or breaks their entire year.

    Doesn’t mean that hearing about it doesn’t get old, though.

    And it isn’t truly a sexist thing. After all, can’t we say the same thing about those who camp out waiting for the latest version of Madden?

    As Ron (Tater Salad) White has said, “I wouldn’t spend that much time camping if I was…camping.”

    Hey, is this true? I heard there are some Auburn/Alabama fans (forget which, could be both) who, if their team loses the Iron Bowl, will not put up a Christmas tree that year – the rest of their year is shot. I heard that a long time ago on the radio and wondered if it’s for real.

    By the way, I too am rooting for Auburn, and Phil is right. The Iron Bowl is a Top 5 lock. Assuming they don’t mess with the unis.

    No, but it is on CBS College Sports. The decal is not that great, and the uni’s should only be looked at with proper UV protection. I was going to make a comment on how difficult it would be to see your other players since the helmet color matches their opponents (The Memphis…Don’t call me “State” Tigers) but with the color of those uni’s their QB has no excuse not find his own receivers.

    They didn’t look like it on TV. The story according to the broadcast is that the kids saw pictures in the school hallway of the late 70’s championship team with the striped socks and they wanted them. They are from the western end of the UP and have been in the last six Division 8 championship games. The coach was on the championship team in the 70’s.

    As the resident Beergeek/Beeradvocate, I must say Lukas wins HANDS DOWN in the Sammy Smith Oatmeal vs. Newcastle Brown Ale debate.

    I’m not going to sit here and bash Powers, b/c hey… the Brown Ale is better than anything BMC (Bud/Miller/Coors for the non-beergeeks). But Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout is one beautifully tasting/well constructed brew….Samuel Smith makes many a good brew, but if you’re into the Newcastle, try Sam Smith’s Nut Brown Ale. It’s OUTSTANDING.

    I was thinking about all the talk of Detroit having its Thanksgiving game taken away. Why don’t they just move the Lions game to the NFL network until the team improves? That way, Fox and CBS don’t have to worry about showing the damn game.[/quote]

    They should not move it for two good reasons;

    1. Tradition should count, particularly as it relates to holidays and generational bridges – here, we are all, Grandpa, Dad and kids, traditionally prepared for and expecting a Detriot game and a Dallas game, and there are no good reasons to change that. What few traditions that haven’t been Douchefied by greed and money and trends that sicken should be left alone.

    2. Those that watch NFL FOOTBALL on a holiday like Thanksgiving are going to watch it whether it is the Lions vs. Packers or any ther teams, no matter how high up in the standings. You watch NFL FOOTBALL, you watch that game, if you don’t, you won’t. PERIOD.

    I’m not going to sit here and bash Powers, b/c hey… the Brown Ale is better than anything BMC (Bud/Miller/Coors for the non-beergeeks). But Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout is one beautifully tasting/well constructed brew….Samuel Smith makes many a good brew, but if you’re into the Newcastle, try Sam Smith’s Nut Brown Ale. It’s OUTSTANDING.

    Anyway…. I’m a “no-black for the Mets, coffee-drinking, beer advocating, Sarah-Palin-is-an-asshole, would listen to Dylan all day kinda guy”.

    I can anyone “win” or “lose” when it comes to beer choice? Comparing an oatmeal stout to a brown ale is worse than apple and oranges.

    As a member in brewing family, one thing that I have learned is that there is no such thing as the perfect beer for all. I don’t look any different at someone who drinks an expensive imported beer vs. someone who picks up a 30 pack of natty light.

    Once you do, you are a beer snob (much like those on beeradvocate.com)[/quote]
    I sure as hell do. I don’t plan on EVER getting caught red-handed with Natty Light. It’s quality vs quantity. Or, “I just need liquid for beer pong.” And since I don’t play beer pong (yes, Hemogoblin, get incredulous here), I’ll take six of a REAL beer (often an import, but Canada’s got some really good domestics) any day.

    AMEN, BROTHER.

    I also don’t feel it necessary for any of you shit beer drinkers to call me a beer snob. I’m educated enough on the topic to know there’a quite a bit of SHIT out there… and that most the good stuff comes from microbreweries or select very high standard breweries overseas.

    Beer snob? No. Beer educated, as to avoid the total garbage which uses the term “beer” loosely… Yes.

    Sorry, Johnny.

    No Samuel Smith where I just returned from, so I went the Captain and Ginger route.

    I only do it for recreational purposes, first off.

    Secondly, you thoroughly gasted my flabber.

    Lastly, check out link

    Also, I realize that the previous comment is incredibly incriminating.

    Therefore, I counter it by saying these words:

    Widmer Hefeweizen

    and

    Deschutes Brewery

    I have atoned for my sins.

    Yeah, that should’ve said “I really hope the phone number…”

    It often helps when sentences have verbs.
