Sunday Afternoon (Sports & Cooking)

It appears Autumn has finally arrived on the Wasatch front. It's about damn time, too. Today turned into a lovely cool, sunny day. It's funny I seem to have a compulsion to cook when things are not going well; and since the US economy is in the tank the time seemed right for meatballs and sauce; baked macaroni and cheese and lasagne.

The good news is the Giants won 4-0 WOOHOO!!!! Chad Pennington won down in Miami; what the hell is up with the Chargers??? Last year I had a bet with a friend of mine over who would win a Super Bowl first Rivers or Eli-obviously I won. But how did San Diego get so bad so fast? It's not like they are the Seahawks.

Detroit beat San Antonio to win the WNBA Championship; I thought San Antonio had at least one win in them. While I think the Shock are a fine team with a boatload of talent I'm not a big bill lambier fan. Besides half of the San Antonio line-up is composed of former New York Liberty players. The team who has my heart, regardless of the number of times they break it at the end of the season; much like my beloved New York Mets.

the only comfort I get from the Mets falling apart again at the end of this season is that the Cubs are not going to win a world series this year either. It has suddenly become very difficult to type; I have a cat half on my lap and half on my MacBook. She knows the rule is she is supposed to sleep on my shoulder while I'm on the computer, but all things being equal and Addie being a cat-we know how well rules go over.


completely off the frivolity of a sunday afternoon spent cooking comfort food and football.

Joe Biden's mother in law Bonnie Jacobs passed away today. My thoughts and best wishes are with Jill, Joe and the families. Losing a parent is never easy no matter how old one may be. It should also be noted Joe's son Beau deployed with the DE National Guard today to Fort Bliss, TX for training. Godspeed Beau and all of our armed forces in harm's way.
